Hi Everyone,
So I've never done racing, I started a while back to train for some local adventure races (but then stopped because of my fear of water).

So I've decided to give one of the solo 12 hr. races a try. Do you have any suggestions on great links to help me get started and preparing appropriately? I've spent 10hrs straight on a bike, but was going snail pace, so I'm thinking I'll have to improve my speed.

Also, anyone ever come in dead last? Wondering this as part of my mental preparation, I'm a slow rider.

I've been contemplating this for a while but never had the time to commit, I now have the opportunity to act on it.

Thanks for all of your help and suggestions!
