Why do I keep getting flats? Am I cursed???

Hello folks,
I just don't understand whats going on with my bike. Recently I put brand new set of SL90 Easton wheels, brand new Conti race tires and brand new tubes. First ride lasted for like 7 miles. OK, stuff happens, not a big deal. Fixed the flat...2nd ride lasted like 10 miles. OK, things happen. Took off the tires, put brand new tube, went for a 10 miles rid, came back home. Next day the tire was flat from another puncture. I checked the wheel but was not able to spot anything suspicions. Front tire holds up good. But rear tire gives me a nightmare. Well, theoretically I can accept 3 consecutive flats, but something tells me it is not just a coincidence. And the puncture is more on the side of the tube. I don't know if I can blame Easton or should I? Its a pretty good wheel. But what else? I ve been riding bomb proof cheap Maddux wheels with Gatorskins without with no problems, but once I made a switch I cant sleep really well now
