dominic 🌱@dominicvfx thanks 🙏🏼
@moelholm you have a lot of potential. Excited to see how far you will go
@dominicvfx that’s very nice of you to say - thanks a lot. I’ll try to not disappoint you too much 😀🤠🏃🏽🏃🏽
Btw: thanks again for the “hill 3 is runnable” tip. The words was in my mind on that uphill - and I prioritized running specifically due to that for those segments where the ascent wasn’t too crazy (otherwise I may have walked to prevent burning off to much effort, until after it)
@moelholm I remember a particularly tough race I was running. I kept remembering something someone told me over and over. It made me stronger. It made me believe I could do it. It was on a loop in my head until I got out of the dark place.
I meant it. I knew you could run it or at least part of it.

@dominicvfx 💪🏻 … I believe I could run most of it - but still played it slightly safe on some segments: knew I had to let loose after the hill. I think it was a good strategy - because it may otherwise have impacted the rest of the kilometers waiting after it negatively.
Experience like that is really helpful. I think I’ll figure out exactly why I thought it was scarier than it was. So that I can make a similar more realistic strategic calibration for the next races 👌🏼😎
@moelholm that was smart. It's hard to know unless you've run the course before. Your mind will want to protect you from damage. Sometimes it's a bit over protective.
