Don't focus on the pain. Thinking about it won't make it better. Tight stomach, crampy legs, tired hands, stiff neck. it is all part of the game of getting into shape. If you are at your potential well the next step in racing is learning to suffer in a smart kind of way. Obviously if your legs decide (mostly happens on Mtb) not to go and lock up there is nothing you can do but slow down, but often times it is a matter of just putting the suffering aside and turning circles.

Cycling tip

Sometimes solving a simple creak is as easy as undoing a quick release wheel and chnaging the way the wheel sits in a drop out.

Cleaning the seatpost and seat tube collar has helped, just get your torch right when resetting. It is a good this to check that the post is not binding with frame every so often too. Apply a little grease to insure it doesn't bind.

Also reseting the headset. The top cap screw is used to snug up the races and bearings, this can only be done when the stem bolts are loose. Loosen, clean, snug it up (with top cap bolt), then tighten the stem to stiring tube. Threaded headset are a little different but just as easy to pop out clean, grease and tighten.
