Fourty-five minutes in. You're looking for your bike amid the crowd of hundreds of others. You're thankful that you've been practicing transitions – hell, you started thanking Mike after the first five minutes, when you realized that the course started slightly uphill. And since you learned POSE running, you eat climbs for breakfast.
Halfway up that BIG climb, you do what you never thought you would: you started being thankful for box jumps. As lactic acid starts pouring into your big quad muscles, the scraped shins of last week are no longer significant. All downhill from here, baby!
…and then, running again, quads shot, heart rate extreme: you're more glad than ever. You're GOING to finish. A personal best seems inevitable. While your age group crumbles around you, teetering and failing as their technique implodes with their comfort level, you move gracefully forward. You don't look like a pro…but you're not stopping, either. It's good to be you.
Victory will be defined differently by every athlete in that race. Achieve yours.
