You know… honestly, I felt a bit of imposter syndrome leading up to this race. In ways I felt like I didn’t deserve to be there because I had qualified in Korea, where the competition wasn’t as tough as it would have been had I raced in a California 70.3 (like 5th place in my AG at Santa Cruz 70.3 last year vs 1st overall at Goseong 70.3 this year, with very similar finishing times). Maybe it was a self-fulfilling prophecy for my bike to not have arrived for this race?
