* '''Pre-race nutrition.''' For this race, I aimed to eat less the night before and for breakfast. I suspect that I normally overeat, and this time I slept better and my stomach was happier in the first hour of the race. I also kept my [[Fiber]] intake high the day before the race and this seemed to work well.
* '''Body Weight.''' For Poland, I'd got my body weight down, and I believe body fat is a [[Weight Loss and Performance| huge determinant of performance]]. After Poland, my weight dropped about three Pounds (1.5Kg) to around 130 (59 kg), but my [[Body Fat Scales]] indicate this is mostly due to muscle loss, which is not what I want.
* '''Garmin 310XT.''' The battery life of a Garmin [[Best Running Watch| running watch]] is not long enough for a 24 hour with GPS active, but using a [[FootPodFootpod]] instead works great. I configured my Garmin so that one of the pages of displays included the previous lap time, previous lap distance and average lap time. I could look at my previous lap time at my leisure, rather than noting the time when I cross the line, and I'd also have a running average of my lap times to know what pace I was on. The previous lap distance verified that the calibration of the [[FootPodFootpod]] was correct. I also wrote on my hand the split times for the various goal distances.
