During the first 4 hours it was raining continuously but luckily near the end the sun appeared
What would you do differently?:

Had 1 flat tire after 120kms which cost me almost 15 minutes to repair, a spare tire that was flat + a broken CO2 cartridge, luckily i had a small handpump and my last spare tire.
I was too nervous because i have never changed a flat in a race
