iMOAT

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
My feet will be fast and my compass I’ll trust.
My bike will fly and no time will I waste.
I’m out up ahead, it’s my trail dust you taste…

I couldn’t get word to you, there just wasn’t time
I got recruited for a big race that’s one of a kind
I know you’re concerned, but have no fear
My pack was ready to go with my mandatory gear

I had to move fast to not miss the start.
This race I’m going solo, without MOAT or HART.
But don’t worry about me because you need to train.
We adventure racers compete in sun, cold and rain.

When you’re ready for this race I’ll be waiting here.
Our “Mother Of All Teams” will have the best gear.
For now I’ll be waiting, enjoying the view
But know that often I am checking on you.

And if you’re feeling just a little bit low
Remember transition areas cause teams to be slow.
As the race clock ticks on, and life does too.
Don’t forget it’s essential to have a good crew.

So forgive me now for leaving this place,
But it’s hammer time, and I’m setting the pace.
I’ll see you again when you’re trained up and ready.
So HTFU and keep the pace steady.
