Ode to our coach

Oh Benny boy- how we love and hate you so. We curse you when our legs feel like they are going to fall apart and we love you when the workout is done and we've survived. We hate you as we count lap after lap in the pool and love you when we realize we just swam almost two miles and still feel like we have energy. We hate you when our backs and crotches are on fire even when standing up on the bike and love you when it's time to clip out of our pedals and freak out knowing how far we rode. We hate you when we see the week's worth of workouts and we love you knowing the time you are putting into making us both Ironman finishers. We hate that you are a maniac and will train in any of the curves Mother Nature throws and we love you that you push us to do the same so we are completely prepared come race day.
We are both so happy you are our coach- you bring out the best in both of us, which we love! Good luck to you in Louisville on Sunday- we will be rooting for you!!! You have trained long and hard for this one and you deserve to have the race of your life!
