memoirs of a 12hour

what has this hoff learned for his first 12hr mtb race? grip/glove choice is crucial! hidden yellow jacket nests suck! you can only eat so many pb&j's before your utterly disgusted by the sight of them. Dont crash on rocks! they're quite unforgiving and will F you up! Dont try and shoulder check a tree.. you'll loose! People are defenitely envious of the Hoffen kit. would i do it again...? most defenitely but next time i may do several things different. some more pics to add to KB's...
