You might ask yourself how both men and women have the physical strength to participate in this race. During the race, most athletes will focus on the process of the race and not the outcome (Barton, 2017). You must build your <strong>mental toughness<\/strong> so when the big day arrives, you will have taught your brain to never give up (Arantes De Bem Junior, 2017). When participating in a competition that works with your mental strength you can gain <strong>emotional well-being<\/strong> which can decrease your stress and anxiety (Belongto.org, 2017). Whether it be working your day to day job or competing in a race, <strong>mental strength is more essential<\/strong> than physical strength. You must be determined to reach your goal and always believe that <strong>everything is possible<\/strong> if you put your mind into it. Always keep in mind that there is nothing more satisfying than crossing that finishing line and knowing that you <strong>accomplished your goal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Herv\u00e9 Gisserot develops the subject that running a marathon is the same process as leading an organization. \u201cA few things Ironman triathlons taught me about leadership\u201d, published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/few-things-ironman-triathlons-taught-me-leadership-herv\u00e9-gisserot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><h6><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">References<\/span>:<\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">1.Arantes De Bem Junior, J.
