Alright! The voting for the raceAthlete Best Endurance Blog contest will be coming to an end, this weekend. That leaves only a few short days for people to stop by and vote for three of their favorite blogs. Well, at least three of those listed. If you want an idea of some of my favorite blogs, just stop by my Tri Blog Community page. There are a lot of good blogs out there. Many of them made the top ten of the contest. Go! Vote! For me!
I've been trying to keep up on the posts the other candidates have been putting up in the attempt to garner a podium finish. Nytro can always be counted on to shock your socks off. Then, Steve in a Speedo comes out of nowhere regaling us with the story of frostbitten body parts and euphemisms for said appendage. Baboo and Misty proved that what happens in Vegas can sometimes be shared with the outside world? And who doesn't want to see them in Elvis outfits?
All the others can also be counted on for great posts, whether directly related to triathlon, or just sharing about themselves and their lives. And outside of the top ten listed on raceAthlete are dozens of other great blogs.
Which brings us to the main point. It is time for a tremendous comeback by Iron Pol. A quick check, last night, shows I have maintained a solid lock on last place. Now that the rest of the field is confident that I have hit the wall and bonked hard, it's time for a serious sprint to the finish!
Of course, the picture at the left says it all. Anyone paying attention to the feet will note two things. First, both feet are off the ground, so I am running. But the tell-tale glow from various parts of the shoes give indication of just how dark it was getting when I crossed the finish line in Louisville. While I might be good at "strong finishes," they have yet to be finishes anywhere near the front of the pack.
That's okay, someone has to finish "last." And this contest is no different than an Ironman. Being in the race was more than I ever expected. Finishing strong is a bonus.
So if you haven't voted, make sure you stop by and pick your favorite blogs from those listed. And then, stop by some of the other great blogs that are just as deserving of recognition. Because in the end, we're all part of the tri blog community and, deep down, we're all "hit" and "comment" whores.
