Yeah, but I'm old, soft and slow... not nearly the sailing pornstars you are.
But that doesn't mean I can't/won't eventually do some distance sailing and I'd be willing to bet some of this would benefit me (it's always about me...)
Ok, I'll prime the pump. Jake gave me a bit of comfort advice but I ignored it and regretted it. He told me to buy a cheap shorty wetsuit and cut the bottoms off and wear them as a pair neoprene shorts. I didn't and 3 hours into the second day was cursing myself for being stupid. Being uncomfortable is an incredible distraction and the time you spend fidgeting looking for some relief is time spent going slow.
Secondly and this has been said by many, eat and stay hydrated. The last hour is when everyone is weakest and begins to let their guard down ( I sure did ) and if you have the gas you can make gains. Plus you need to keep your head on straight and maintaining your body properly really helps you sort things out.
There is much much more and I'm sure those with the miles and the hours will chime in.
