• Comments: General Comments: I had a poor attitude about this race. I thought a certain person had won this race 5 years and made a long trip from Chicago to "win" this race every year. This irritated me because it is a small race and I felt he should pass around the confidence boost to others. My primary goal was to beat this person and I wasn't focused on my own race. This set me off of my pattern of racing and kept me from making clear and right decisions. My attitude needed adjusted and it was done so on the swim. I was reminded after the race (by my thoughts) that I don't race against others, but for myself......for the pure enjoyment of it. This race got in my crawl and I am a lesser athlete for it. I have learned my lesson and will put myself back into the correct mindset in the future. Results: http://ohioroadraces.net/web_documents/2012_kewpee_triathlon_male_r...
