Hi gang... its been a nice week, recovering from the Greater Cleveland Triathlon and planning workouts and races in the upcoming months... 4 races in 4 weeks was a daunting task, but we survived. So far this week, I had a breakwall swim at Fairport with much yardage tacked on afterward. A couple of tough weight workouts and a long bout with the elliptical machine. Trying to avoid any running as my hamstring mends a bit.
The Bride has Pilates, and I will take a class or two, but the work sked is crazy. Browns are full go. I will be at Giants Stadium next Monday as Browns face the Super Bowl Champs. High School football is one week away and the seasons will slowly change. I love this time of the year.
You might know by now, if you have followed this blog that I like to take creative license with some of the famous and infamous of writers and weave my own web of words about training and racing... Hey, you gotta have fun...right?????

So..I was thinking.....why not another rap??? Would Kanye West write something like this for endurance racing???
You're an Ironman
Summer sun is smoking
Like a record broken
All effort, no joke-in
The body is aching
Endurance limits shaken
Replacement fluids taken...
The Heart beats are soaring
Clothes drenched, sweat is pouring..
Burning carbs you've been storing.
The Mind shouts, Stop..you've done enough!!!
We know your're really tough
Bag this Ironman stuff!!!
No, you reply........ I'll tell ya why!!!
Its the thrill..the competition high!!!
So...you increase your pace,,,.
visualize the Ironman Race.
Add 2 miles just in case..
You keep on churning....
Lungs are burning..
Body is protesting
But your not resting
Cuz..your still thinking..
follow the coaches plan
Run forever...cuz you CAN !!!!
You're an Ironman!!!!!!
