2nd in Age Group | Lessons learned

...so I took second in my age group in a pretty small race this past weekend, the Waterworks 25k.

Here are a few lessons learned from the 25k:
1) TAKE YOUR WATER BELT w/ PICKLE JUICE! Nobody will be handing out salt pills when you start cramping up.
2) A 10 minute pace equals a 4:20 marathon -- slow down at the start, set your mind right. You do want to be walk-jogging at the 13 mile marker bc you didn't manage your ego.
3) Gel and pickle juice every 4 miles, no buts.
4) Shirtless is a good thing, no chaffing or bleeding nips is even better.
