  • Finish the first 100 hydrated, fueled, and not out of gas.
  • Have a strong will to finish. Never give up unless someone tells you you're disqualified. Even then, argue.
  • Something may not go well - mechanical or mental or weather or navigation or your stomach. Deal with it, and keep rolling.
  • Don't think about distance to the finish, instead just focus on the next stop.
  • Know that leg cramps aren't the end of the world. Ease off, maybe stop and stretch, and get moving.
  • Ride your own pace, nobody else's.
