Morning before a very long event O'dog was engaged in a little pre-race meet and greet with other racers. Forecast was for intense heat, no wind. Got some great advice from another racer:

"You know that feeling during a race when everything feels great, you're filled with energy, and you just want to go, go, go? Don't!"

O'dog kept it in the tank that day until the last portion of the race then let it all go and experienced the joy of passing scores of other racers.
