Not enuff lamb to go round

Greek Orthodox Easter is behind us, spent in Roumeli, the place with lamb roasting tradition.

Easter Sunday in Amfissa is definetely the wrong time and place to train for the Iron Man World Championship.

3.8 Kms swim , followed by 180 Km cycling and followed by a full 42 Km Marathon.
Nobody was.

Talking of Iron Man, one can not forget Team Hoyt. (Did not see them in Amfissa)

Team Hoyt is a father (Dick Hoyt, born June 1, 1940[1]) and son (Rick Hoyt, born January 10, 1962) team from Holland, Massachusetts who have competed together in various athletic endeavors, including marathons and triathlons. Rick has cerebral palsy and during competition Dick pulls Rick in a special boat as they swim, carries him in a special seat in the front of a bicycle, and pushes him in a special wheelchair as they run. Team Hoyt was inducted to the Ironman Hall of Fame in 2008.

Think of them next time you think you are having a tough time.

So, lamb aplenty during Easter, spring love in the air and no triathlon Iron Men.


Faithless - Not enuff love
