...And The Secret Of Success Is...

No matter what journey you take, don't take it without this...

Every champion seems to have a secret weapon that gets them to the finish line before anyone else. The weapon I am thinking of can raise you above the rest of the field because it shows one's impermeability to pain and suffering that the race can bring.  I am working on a hunch here and I have little scientific fact to really back me up, but I think I may be on to something. In triathlon, I can think of two female champions that share this special tool in each of their arsenals. Natasha Badmann used it consistently throughout all of her 6 Ironman World championship victories and so does Chrissy Wellington, Ironman's more recent queen of the Kona.  What's best about this weapon is that it doesn't cost a thing. You don't need any special training to use it. In fact if more people used it, racing an Ironman (or any sporting event for that matter), would feel like a trip through Willy Wonka's indulgent chocolate factory. Really, it's the best thing going. Can you guess what this indispensable tool is?
