First of all, congratulations on a superb race. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about every facet of the race from the climb, the downhill and your nutrition. Clearly these shorter races are in your scope too.
Good for you for your positive thinking strategies. Sounds like you have good coping skills.
Writing from Galliano island. Here for a week with a girlfriend. We have done some hiking, beachcombing and lots of reading. Good luck in Squamish!!!! Love Auntie Mar
Congratulations on a fantastic race!! And thank you for sharing this thoughtful recap. I use the same kind of mental tricks when I'm writing, too. I convince myself each stage is the easy part. Like, outlining is easy, no stakes, no worries. Then, drafting is easy when there's already an outline. Then, revising is easy cuz the draft is already written. And on and on until the work is done :)
Thanks, Helen! I love that you use these tricks for writing. That's something I will definitely try going forward, as I find the writing process often more challenging than the running one!

Thanks for reading, Auntie Mar! I hope you have a great time on Galliano! The hiking and beachcombing there is fantastic. Any books you'd recommend?
