Rules to live by(race Ironman)

http://www.trifuel.com/training/triathlon-training/the-endurance-nation-four-keys-to-ironman-execution

Check out these rules, funny yet soooo true. Curtis memorize these as they will make the difference between a good race and a bad one. This is my fav. part;

"Don't eat the paste. Ironman in general, but especially the bike leg, is at best a special ed class: you only have to show up with your C game to be at the head of the class. If you find yourself doing the opposite of everyone else, you're doing the right thing. If Jimmy and everyone else is in the corner eating the paste, don't join them! Sit down, do what we're telling you, and don't eat the paste! Lots of people passing you in the first 40 miles? That's good, don't eat the paste. Going backwards through the field on a hill? That's good, don't eat the paste."

Thanks Jenna for posting this, I hope you don't mind passing it on.
