Stern's List Of Excuses
Monday, June 16, 2008
From Scott Stern - reasons why he did not have a good race...
I forgot to mention a few things (excuses):
1. I got kicked in the swim.
2. My goggles fogged up.
3. My bike got moved in the transition area.
4. I got a flat tire on the bike.
5. I got stopped by the train.
6. I stopped on the bike to give milk to a hungry kitten.
7. Someone spilled GU in my running shoes.
8. Someone put vodka in my water cup.
9. I took a wrong turn on the run (added 2 miles)
10. To build endurance, I did whole race with 20-pound ankle weights.
Or perhaps this was god punishing me for not wearing my Tri-Bull racing shirt!
And one question to ponder? Why does everyone kick Rosenthal’s ass during every TRAINING swim, bike and run but he dominates come race day???
