A Break Necking Pace

Wendy Shatters the Triathlon record,
By finishing all 3 legs at once!

Did you have a cousin your age at your school?
With an uncanny ability to make you feel cool?
A friend from diapers. For hours we played.
We swam in her pool, and beside it we layed.

She hosted the cool parties, all of which I attended.
Others were jealous, when her short guest lists were ended.



She kindly invites me, She quietly supports.
Not many are her equal in virtually all sports.



Lately I find she encourages me more.
Reminds me of social events galore.
High School Reunions and cheerleading pal's.
Girlfriend's with whom I was one of the gals.



When I don't rally to the call.
What is my problem? I don't know at all.

She's trained us for Triathlons, inspired us off our couches.
She's turned us back into athletes, instead of just slouches.

Next week is her birthday and she'll be 31,
On the very day there's a race to be won!

I won't come in first. I really don't care.
I'm just excited to get back out there!

May 9th is the day, we'll be taking by storm.
We'll be testing our nature's and showing good form.

This Triathlon reminds me of seizing the day.
Of not wasting time, choosing at home to stay.



Opportunities await, they knock at our door.
Do we choose to do less? When we ought to do more?

Do we sit on the side lines and heckle the racers?
Do we wish we were them? The real risk takers!

Taking the chances to visit old friends.
Or joining new races, establishing new trends.
On these occasions we are making a choice:
Whether embracing new challenges or hiding in corners,
If we resist opportunity, We're the forlorners.



It's fun to remember the joys from before.
When life was wide open, every avenue left to explore.

It's then that I realize all options are there.
Though I haven't yet tried some, doesn't mean I don't dare.

It's always okay to embrace new change.
Seek out opportunities to broaden my range.

So I continue in motion, I quicken my pace.
I've no time to lose, as on comes my race.
