Failure isn't negative unless you don't learn from it.

Failure isn't negative unless you don't learn from it.

With that in mind, I decided to test some new items for my next Spartan race, so the lack of planning that almost took me out of my last race doesn't happen again.

I'm glad I tested these new items today, too!

The electrolyte drink mix I tried ended up having too much sugar in it, and it was making me feel sick and dehydrated. Thankfully, I brought some of my homemade granola! The oats, fats, and nuts in there provided the right mixture my body needed and re-energized me to finish.

I'll keep my plain electrolyte mixture from LMNT going forward and supplement that with the salt pills I bought. The combo there has helped me as I've tested them out this past month. The granola and some other calorie dense food will help me with energy loss while avoiding things that are too sugary.

Fail, learn, test, grow. See failure as your catalyst for growth, not the end of the story.
