Are you superstitious?

I used to be superstitious because when you are competing and things don’t go as planned one tends to look to the ” nearest thing ” to blame, (like your number), or not using a particular piece of equipment or clothing, but more than ten years ago I made a decision not to draw any conclusions based on things like that. The only remaining “superstition” I have is not to use a new piece of equipment or attire at a competition for the first time. I always wear or use something new at least once before using it at a show. But this is based on the fact that it is better to leave nothing to chance, and has paid off several times.
