Only 68 miles to go!

A Biking Haiku
(please read in monotone)

six A.M I wake
it’s thirty-two degrees out
i eat and we drive

borrow bike, speedy fast
borrow pants, padded butt please
water, hat, glove’, check

to lakeville high school
then to Jordan, ugh
the wind in my face

my toes going numb
please, not sixty miles more
i can’t feel my hand

twenty-three miles
finally done, time for lunch
orange, twix, trail mix, stuff

tail wind at back, yes
passing by horses, cows, farms
new prague, here i come

up and down hills great
i feel it’s getting very late
second rest-stop, lonsdale?

we eat more food, yum
twenty miles more, very sore
tomorrow, i’ll hurt

down a hill. stop. go.
lakeville high I love you so
never so happy

Thanks to the help of Morgan’s friend and his dad, Morgan was able to complete the Minnesota Ironman. She finished, give or take, in six and a half hours. Congratulations to all (crazy people).
