Broke the curse!

I’ve been doing the local Oly here for 14 years. It’s called the Kiawah Olympic Tri. I’ve been cursed with mechanicals on the bike, shoe issues, and even had run-ins with sea creatures. Today I broke the curse and had the best Oly of my life. I got totally anal about the details of this race and visuallized a race with no glitches. It worked! I went 2:53:45. That may sound lackluster to many of you, but it is a sign of better things to come. Yay!!!

Nice job!

Way to visualize the outcome.

Thanks guys. I had maps of the couse layed out in my study and was considering every minute detail. I was trying to picture the race as though I was there every day for two weeks before the big day. The bike just melted away. Instead of riding with trepidation of what was gong to happen to me I rode thinking about what I was going to do to the course. I also smoked my brother by nearly half an hour. I expected to come in about five minutes ahead. He got seasick from the rolling waves.
