File:PolandTrip 074.JPG|The Japanese team is well organized. They had a whiteboard up showing the positions of each of their team and the leader. This was great, as I had little or no idea how anyone was doing other than this board, which showed Mike M’s lead.

There are a number of things I will change next time around.
* As well as my [[Fellrnr's Go Juice|Go Juice]] I will also make up some [[DIY Electrolyte Drink]], as hydrating on the go juice alone can provide more calories than my body wants.
* A saw Mike Morton do some simple stretching [[Stretching]] on each lap, which became the basis of the [[Morton Stretch]].
* Crunching down potato chips (crisps) and putting them in a drinking cup seemed to work well for some runners. It's far easier to eat them that way.
* I tried super glue for the first time on a cut on my finger before the race, and I'm impressed with how well it worked, so I will experiment further.
