training and racing motivation

found this on Ironman.com, thought I'd share.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but do not quit.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seem so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit

Here's to racing in 2009!
