Mental Training for Triathletes

Would you, could you, swim two miles?
Would you, could you, do time trials?
Would you run in wind and heat?
Would you lose nails from your feet?

Would you, could you, live on gels?
Would you let your house go all to hell?
Would you, could you, pay too much cash
To buy a bike you just might crash?

Would you, could you, rise at dawn
After sleeping with your wetsuit on?
Would you, could you, read triathlete blogs
And keep your own top secret training logs?

Would you, could you, treat food as fuel?
Would you wear a TT helmet because you think it's cool?
Would you, could you, drink chlorine?
Would you, could you, love a girl in neoprene?

Would you, could you, say "Yes, I could and can?"
You might just be a future Ironman.
