Competence comes with practice but also from the high of confidence that you carry with you prior to the event. What did I do differently? I believe my lap kicks was stronger and for each lap, I was going harder and faster, totally ignoring the strokes and not allowing my thoughts to wander too much.
I kept chanting the words - 23 mins and that is the sole outcome I want. I know I would feel high, confident, happy and excited when I achieved that. It is true that all these feelings of mine do surface.
Is this what NG was saying about forming the internal images before the external coincides ? I am believing more and more of this concept and the link with prayers.
If prayers is all about thanksgiving ,then I am thanking God for what he has given me thus far. I am grateful to HIM for keeping my body fit and healthy and not allowing age or anything else to stop me in my pursuit of health.
Thank you God
