For those unfamiliar with haiku:

"A Japanese poem composed of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables."

On my bike today
Wind trying to blow me down
Hope to stay upright

I'll take a shot:

In our subconsious
Swim Smooth, Bike Strong, Run Hard, Rest
mantra of our sport

Climate gravity friction
our silent adversaries

Not tri related, but my favorite haiku.

Haiku's can be fun.
But they sometimes don't make sense.
Refrigerator.

Sorry thats all i got, always been more into prose.

Whirling synchromesh
Greasy footed night running
Head lamps on and bright

Extreme distance pursuit
Whirling syncromesh life

A dream within reach
Hours of constant effort
Just to cross that line

Tight, black neoprene,
Then the start and the fury;
Arms, elbows, buoys.

Pedal strong, steady
RPM. Stick with the plan.
Enjoy the journey.

Brick legs, or Jell-o?
Focus, hydrate, re-focus;
Be light on those feet.

The finish, the thrill.
Work, sacrifice; big payoff.
Celebrate; repeat.

I guess I have to try one (inspired by my last half):

Standing by the shore
Fog lifts off glassy water
Today is my day

good morning sunshine
calm water and a tail wind
sleeping in today?

Don't be so easy on yourself 'cause this one might be all that you have left

Early morning swim
Slow, moderate, hard and fast
Perfect stroke is bliss.

T2. Run, finish

This race is over, whats next?
Race report, soon. I promise!
