Some write post race reports, here is my thoughts on the time spent on Ometepe at Fuego y Agua:
Camaraderie's Ode
For glory we seek
An island we meet
Hopes and dreams, fulfill
Display the human will
Erstwhile imperious, forthwith conspiring
Inspired, inspiring, hearts desiring
Each cohort to another
Becoming sister and brother
Intrepid marching we began
Through mud, through dirt, through sand
Volcanoes climbed, scarcely marking time
Dispositions sublime, others benign
Some stumble, some fall
Together facing all
Trouble here, here, and here
Lend an ear, hear my fear
Treachery known, together grown
Champion's seeds, now sown
Looking right, looking left
Nay of friends, bereft
