Message: [QUOTE="Alex, post: 140321, member: 24369"] lessons I learnt in the beginning, do not drink a lot of liquid in the hour before the race, you will end up with cramps (learnt that one the hard way, 40KM stitch), pack a spare lens for your goggles in your pack. Race your own race, don't get excited if someone passes you, and even worse don't get excited if you start reeling someone in (learnt that one the hard way bailed in a 1000KM race at KM160 carried on with a broken clavicle and two broken ribs for 30 KM, retired at the fuel stop, and then figured out that I had pulled out a 20 minuet lead in the first 150 KM, I ended up with a DNF the slow guys finished) but most off all enjoy it.
