"Huhh? I have to race on my birthday?!!" whining to the tune of his morning breakfast, Baby Virus (not quite baby but more a Junior now) complained. But of course!

This is the attitude of Viruses,
Thus is the focus of Viruses,
Truly is the madness of Viruses,
That have gotten us thus far….

As mad Viruses stand on the starting line despite the cloudy skies, the timers and photographers were busy signaling and snapping away. Half marathon is on the menu today and the Viruses were all ready for it early in the farm land morning.

"Attention! Beep!!!"

The Men made their calculated dash and 30 seconds later, the Gals hastened their crazy acceleration. With all that they have been taught, they put their best skates forward. They huffed and puffed their way up the hills and rolled with agility down the slopes, attacking at the corners and looked out for vehicles all at the same time! They sure were BUSY!!

Birthday Virus pushed his stomach…. Oh… I mean skates forward, and mustered all he could to complete the distance at a decent timing. With his sharp white Bont skates, he raced like a veteran against another "single pack muscled" Junior - Virus Round. Actually, they both look much alike from the side… with their stomachs sticking out!! The boys were having a great time fighting it out…

I am really proud of my team guys and gals as they rolled to the finishing line fighting for the top spots, with that amazing glint in their eyes. They are strong, fast, powerful and most of all, MAD! I love them all :

Thank you God for watching over us as we race on the roads. Thank you athletes for your commitment and focus. Until next one….. race on….
