Your eye stings from the saltiness; you reflexively wipe the sweat away with the back of your hand, heart pumping, chest heaving and legs aching. You glance around to see that your buddies - barely acquaintances a day earlier - are right there, stride for weary stride with you. Up ahead, the finish line calls like a surreal lover; arms outstretched, beckoning, wooing, and nearly unattainable.
Your subconscious breaks in on your finish line focus; as your sensory perception clears way the fog, you can hear the roar of a rival clan gaining from behind. From some unknown reserve deep within, a communal burst of new energy surges through you and your brothers, and as one you quicken your pace, renew your determination and block out the leaden legs and cramping sides.
With every pounding stride your resolve stiffens; you will not let yourself, or your comrades down! As one you bellow your clan’s cheer again and again while the remaining yards melt away. Suddenly you’re there, the finish, your clan pours over the line; you did it, you beat the “Iron Man”!
Abruptly, fatigue gives way to pride and a soaring sense of accomplishment for you and your clan. Not only did you survive the “Iron Man”, but you achieved what many are unwilling to attempt; you dared stare into the abyss…you peered honestly into your soul and came away the stronger for it. You pushed past the vulnerability of Exposure; you’ve grown, you’ve conquered, and you had a heck of a lot of fun doing it!
Either that or you spent your weekend on some project or another…because let’s face it…why do Exposure when you can clean the garage? Yeah, sure, keep telling yourself that; maybe one day you’ll believe it.
So, blog on and give us your excuse, we’ll let you know if it’s lame or not. Trust us. Exposure, July 25-26, 2008.
