Pace Yourself

It’s early Saturday morning and there is only seven hours until the teams present to their clients. By now fatigue has set in, attention spans are waning and the push to produce is becoming harder. In order to make it to the finish line successfully, participants are going to need to pace themselves. This means they are going to have to take some time to reflect on what they have done, make peace with their progress and stay hydrated, but there are a few things that shouldn’t be done in this particular situation. For example, don’t hideout in a bathroom stall for a quick nap, don’t eat five Moe’s burritos in one sitting, don’t leave an itch unscratched and do not, seriously, do not shotgun a Red Bull.
