The Female Fo<br />
At this point I'm pretty convinced my<br />
coach encouraged me to do this ride<br />
to test my mental stability and sanity,<br />
which consequently only held up until<br />
mile 30 when I considered asking<br />
other cyclists to vote me off the island<br />
or play "I spy with my eye".<br />
Fortunately, I was able to pull myself<br />
out of a state of delirium by redirecting<br />
my focus to why I was there and<br />
considering it the prefect opportunity<br />
to focus on the important issues that I<br />
had been putting off for weeks.<br />
After redirecting my focus, I went deep<br />
into thought about a comment that a<br />
male follower had made on my<br />
Instagram page, questioning my 1 hour<br />
5 minute Sprint Triathlon time. This<br />
incident had been plaguing me for a<br />
while because the guy was so<br />
convinced that I couldn't have finished<br />
in that amount of time and that I<br />
somehow miscalculated; he even went<br />
as far as to re-calculate my time<br />
incorrectly to his liking.<br />
Unfortunately, at t<br />
