I didn’t see anything different in McMasters race but I saw a hell of a lot different in the way the war ran that race not even a lean at the finish.

Any athlete would tell you three thing propell you to win, the passion, the pressure and the will of God. The passion allow you to think about it, strategize about and dream about it. The pressure push you to challenge yourself to the next level and prove a point. The will of God shows you the power to excell.
The guy was focus, but not enough , he knew that the challenge would one day come,but it was the steadiness that keep Mc Master asking God to strengthen him to win. What a race, it was awesome.
You are crazy to say Kyron did nothing different. His race strategy is what won this race. Learn the sport.
Calling for some of these companies, law firms and trust companies to adopt our athletes. They need the help to get to the top and remain there. Yes, Government does its best and can do better with its resources, but you are making big money here. You don't have to break the bank, but give back already. Sheesh.
