I'm about to pull the trigger on my first 50K (The Huff) and for those who have ventured this far, what do you wish someone would've told you before you ran that far.

I'm looking only to finish, hopefully around the 6 hour mark. I've done 2 IM's and a handful of marathons and have a pretty good idea of what I need nutrition wise through out the day. Just looking for any tips or tricks that may help through out the day. Thanks!

Not that I didn't know better, but doing my first 50 miler (not km) only 6 weeks after an IM wasn't the best idea in the history of the world.  They marked the 26.2 mile point on the course and it was pretty neat to pass the mark thinking "I've never run farther than my next step".     Good luck!

My 1st triathlon, Xterra and the mess I made of myself. This wasn’t your regular triathlon, it was off-road.
