- Carry spare batteries (wrap these spare batteries in a waterproof bag a couple of times to make sure they dont get wet)
- Put on full wetsuit before it starts getting dark, it will and does start getting cold quickly
- Have soup/chicken on the go for quick pick me up
- Either have a race belt that's water proof or camelback to put food items/batteries in (but more reluctant with the camelback due to the risk of it getting caught on barbed wire, but as this is a race requirement for Spartan Beast, I will find out how well it works
- From Lachlan's post on Going Long 2015 Facebook page- climb up side of cargo net, stops your feet getting caught in the net
- Also from Lachlan's post - pull he tyre from the bigger side rather than from the handle
- Take off head torch during cargo crawl as it gets caught
- Heat patches or deep heat (I found the heat patches helped with my back a little)
- Eat treat items during muddy mile as suggested by Tiffany Nissen
- Also suggested by Tiffany, preparing some pre made mashed sweet potatoes, chicken/beef broath (if possible to make at home and bring with next time)
- It would have to be the prescription pain killers, not sure if I could have done any laps without these never find 4 laps. Next year I will not jump out in front of car to get more.
- Head torch with spare batteries!
- Thermos flasks - getting these were amazing, they kept everything hot. Even it was just hot water on the go
- Warm socks x 2 for after the event or in between laps
- Big snowboard jacket that you dont mind get wet and dirty, just happy to put on to stay warm.
