Why I Tri Plus - Poem 4

Why I Tri

First Tri in a pool
First Tri with a rented bike
First Tri got cramps on the run

Second Tri OWS
Second Tri bought a bike
Second Tri ran to Tri not just run

First Full Tri I had no clue
First Full Tri I swam long
First Full Tri I biked faster than I thought
First Full Tri I cramped but ran through to the best victory

First Tri I Directed I found a Love
First Tri I Directed I learned about myself
First Tri I Directed I learned you can’t please all the time
First Tri I Directed I felt ultimate stress and ultimate accomplishment

First Tri I coached I learned about myself
First Tri I coached I learned service and nonself
First Tri my athlete crossed the finish line, joy was 10 times that of my finish joy
First Tri I coached my heart was forever there for them

I still Tri to learn and experience
