We have told ourselves these things...YOU have told yourself these things. I know you have...
If I wasn't running the race with _______(fill in blank) I could have finished it faster.
I know I could have raced faster on a "good" day.
If I would have showed up and actually raced the race, I would have made podium- for sure!
If the race had just been a bit longer I would have caught and passed _______(fill in blank).
If I were ____(age) again, I would have placed in that age group.
If I only were older, I would have placed in that age group.
If I would have gotten a better night's sleep, I would have made podium.
If I didn't have to work, I would be SO much fitter, faster, etc.
If I didn't eat so much, I would be leaner and race faster.
If I actually liked running (swimming, cycling) I would actually DO it and thus race well.
If I lifted more weights I could get rid of this flab and finally see that 6 pack that is hiding underneath it all.
If I would have started triathlon back in 1982 at it's inception, I would be the god or goddess of all things triathlon and even know more about it than I do now- and I am an EXPERT!
Now....get away from your computer and get out and TRAIN dammit.

"If I didn't eat so much, I would be leaner and race faster."
The others - not so much. I did just eat a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats, though and I'm supposed to be off carbs. Oh how I love those HBOs though - yum!
Hell yeah.
You hit a few nails on the head with this one.
I've heard alot of those!
I would never say any of those things :-P
So true, so true. I will never say any of these things again!
Oops. "Lies... all lies..."
