Note: The winner will receive a code for one video download.

The Contest:

To win today’s giveaway, you’ll have to be a little creative. We’re looking for the best haiku about the off-season. If you don’t remember from high school English, a haiku is a three-line poem, with the first line containing five syllables, the second line seven syllables and the third line five syllables. Here are some examples:

Stash away the scale
I’m breaking from swim, bike, run
Where are the donuts?

No training, no rides
More family, more free time
To spend with my kids

Post your haiku in the Facebook comments at this link, and the editors will choose our favorite. Then check this post tomorrow to see if you’ve won!

*UPDATE* Congratulations to our winner Adrienne Taren, who submitted: The Turkey Trot proved / It’s much easier to run / When you don’t bike first.
