My only advice was going to be drink some mountain dew and water before the ride, and stuff your face with oatmeal.
I guess I'm used to a bike messengers job or an alley cat type race. I also ride 40-60miles/day. Sounds like you'll be more prepared for the next one!
Glad to see you're apparently no longer scared to have your saddle so high you can't touch the ground with your feet. How long has it been since you've been such a fixed gear badass? 'Cause it looks like it's been a little more than a year since you started riding. HTFU, indeed.
****ing lolosaurusrex!
