Definitely learned a couple of things. I drank about 3 pints of water the 3 hours leading up to the race. When I got to the start half an hour early I thought I'd have time to pee but the queues were horrendous so I ran the first 4km with a full bladder. One of the advantages of being male is that bushes can become very convenient.
I got water at every station but find it difficult to drink when running. I was pouring most of it over my head to cool down on what was a warm day. I won't make that mistake again.
