Races

So lately I've taken a break from cash games and have been strictly playing multi-table tournaments, and with any tourney you almost always have a race situation. Now I am not going into detail but you should all know that a "race" in poker is an all-in situation where each player has close to a 50% chance to win the hand.
Now before my recent stretch of playing mtts, i really didn't get myself into these situations that much. But now, early in these mtts i try to get in them as much as possible in order to build a nice stack, and it's been effective, so far.
So the point of this post is to let you know that racing is a huge factor early on, soooooo try it, do it, get yourself in that situation and double up early, then play tight and pick your spots!
