Secretariat, Lengthen Your Stride


Secretariat was an American Thoroughbred racehorse that in 1973 became the first U.S. Triple Crown champion in 25 years. He set race records in all three events in the Series – the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5), the Preakness Stakes (1:53), and the Belmont Stakes (2:24) – records that still stand today. He won the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths (breaking the margin-of-victory record set by Triple Crown winner Count Fleet in 1943, who won by 25 lengths). -Wikipedia

Since then, the Belmont Stakes has been analyzed and it was determined that Secretariat and the second place horse both took the same number of strides.  Amazing considering Secretariat won by 31 lengths.  So how is this possible?  A few inches with each stride.  

We need to lengthen our stride.  By eliminating or lessening our distractions, we can do more with the same amount of time.
