OBSESSION
It's raining. It's 40 degress. The gate to the only usable high school track in town is locked, but you have a track workout planned. You have to do 5 X 1200 meters with a 400 meter jog in between. So what does a 58 year old man with reasonable intelligence do?





Of course you scoot under the locked gate so that you can complete your workout, so that you can be strong for the Louisville Ironman just 9 and 1/2 months away, so you have the experience to finish in the top two of you're age group at Ironman Wisconsin when you turn 60 in 2008, so you can go to Kona. That's reasonable...right. At least it's plan.



and SENILITY
Of course, if you had bothered to drive around to the far side of the track, you might have seen that the back gate was wide open.
