Why I will have a good race at IM Cozumel

I have just realized and come across some information that points to me having a fantastic race at Ironman Cozumel in roughly 12 days. No, not any power numbers from my long rides. No, not any mile splits from my 19 mile run. Nope, nothing to do with my latest swim splits from my 2000 yard straight or 10 x 100 workouts I've recently done. None of this has anything to do with why I am going to totally dominate this race (dominate by my terms, not overall placing, etc.)

I am going to have a great race because I just realized that at 5:00 pm to 5:45 pm at the new Y that I work out at, there is the once in a lifetime chance to go to "Wedding Dance Exercise!". How can I not have a good race knowing that when I get back, I can get ready to prepare for Jeffy Madness' or the Accelerade Warrior's wedding by taking part in this epic class. The description states..."this class will get you moving with all of the popular dances traditionally done at weddings, plus a few more".

Holy Piss! Not only can I perfect (again, by my standards, my dancing is already perfect by most other's standards, but I digress) the chicken dance and whatever that song is where everyone gets in a line and goes "to the left, to the left, now slide" but I'm going to "get ...moving" to a "few more" songs. What could these possibly be? Souljah Boy? Lady Gaga? I mean, when I get to mile 18 of the marathon portion of the event, I know that if I just push through, dig deep and finish, that soon enough, I will be able to "get moving" to "Twist and Shout" and "Sweet Caroline." Though I always thought the latter song just involved a beer in one hand and the closed fist move to the "bamp bamp bamp" sp????? portion of the song?

Anyways, with this newfound knowledge, I am no longer worried about the race. Thank you new Y and Wedding dance instructor.

On a side note, I have to be related to this guy...
