Dedicate

My compañero was once in a challenging mountain bike race, competing with many professionals and top athletes. He was an amateur, but he won the race anyway. Why?

Before the race began, he dedicated it to a fallen athlete/friend he had studied with in grade school. His friend had been an exceptional mountain bike rider/racer.

Don't ask me how it worked, but it worked.

This experience makes me think ~ what might I accomplish in a day, a minute, an hour, if I dedicate it to someone?

Has anyone tried this? What have your results been?
