Do again:
- Training on the terrain
- Recce the route so it becomes familiar
- Eating - peanut butter / jam wraps, salty crisps / pretzels, fruit, jelly babies. Don't eat unfamiliar or chocolate
- High 5 zero - sip frequently
- Pre-emptive imodium
- Carry minimal extra food as eat mainly at aid stations
Do differently:
- Centurion events are very well marked - navigation on watch not needed (although not the same for other events)
- Need gaiters for dry and dusty trails
- Ensure backpack contents have no hard edges facing me - hood of jacket left me feeling bruised
- Reduce the amount of liquid carried - only took in ~500ml every 4-5 hours, ie every two aid stations
- Don't be persuaded to take a bag of food from aid station
- If look at phone, double check on navigation
