Train Harder
#1

Total darkness
A switch is flipped
Fluorescent lights flicker to life
The hum is the only sound in the room
Another year without the cup
Another year without the Bojo
Another year of not being good enough
Train harder
No music
It’s a distraction
You can’t afford any more distractions, old man
Train harder
You biked here in the faint light of pre dawn
Get down to business ASAP
Set up the weights
You weren’t strong enough
These kids are only going to get stronger
Do you want to get dropped by an 18 year old?
Train harder
Best season of your career and what do you have to show for it?
A body that is more bruised than not from blocking 165 of the hardest damn shots in the world
Cracked ribs, separated shoulders, and bad knees from throwing 164 hits
How much longer do you think you can keep that up?
Train harder
The trainer walks in the door still nursing their coffee trying to shake the cobwebs loose
No time to chit chat
Give them a nod and throw more weight on
Crush the last set and jump on the bike
Your muscles are screaming but you aren’t listening
Time to watch tape
Every single team
How did they best you?
How can you stop them this year?
Train harder
Time to hit the ice
Weighted vest and suicided to start
You can’t afford to get any slower
How much air can those lungs hold these days?
Edgework
It needs to be on point for the opener
Weighted stick
Clap bombs until your arms go numb
Make passes until every last one of them is tape to tape
The rest of the team is arriving now
Time for round two
Do that C on your chest justice
Train harder
