Major problem here. Race mgmt said not to run with the number belt. I didn't some one borrowed mine (914) I was 915. Asked race mgmt what to do, and they took 5 min trying to figure out. Finally I just started running after giving my name to an official.

Bricks before race at the distances.

Fluids, not training enough with bricks.
