The life of an athlete in Boulder
They go out in their
fill in the blank….,
Castelli race kits,
Nike's Air Zoom Moire shoes,
Speedo Fastskin swimming suits/
They descend Old Stage Road at 50 mph,
run recklessly at 5 a.m., a small pool of
light bouncing in front of them on the rocky
trail, turn blue with the effort of
swimming multiple laps breathing
as little as possible.
Exhausted they go home
and stub their toe on the doorjamb,
and wake up in the morning with a stiff
neck because the pillow wasn’t quite
right.
It’s the little risks we take.
