20 feet ahead.
Narrow your focus. In the middle of a race and feel like giving up?
This trick works very well.
As I was cycling through my last IM 70.3 race, I noticed that when I focused on the top of the hill, I seemed to gear down, settle in, and slug it out to the top. I also noticed that I was passed alot by other racers.
There were hills which I focussed my gaze at about 20 feet ahead on the pavement.
I noticed I climbed faster, that I was passing others.
Rather than focussing on the BIG goal, chunk it down. Focus on the next 20 feet.
It is a strange phenomenon, but works very well for triathlon motivation, especially in a race.
