I am an Ironman by Dennis McMinn
I began as a mortal human being,
Someone that most individuals were used to seeing.
I set my eye upon a goal
A goal that I could not fear.
To extend my body and mind
Training for hours and hours upon time.
I had to believe both physically and mentally of what I could achieve
And letting no doubt creep into me.
At times I was tired, hurting and scared
But the thought of the finish line kept me pushing near.
My goal was to accomplish my dream
The dream of what one day I could be called
I swam 2.4, I biked 112 and I ran 26.2
My body revolting, but then participating in my plan
And as I crossed that finish line with all my strength,
Everyone will look at me differently and call me,
IRONMAN
