Peaking too early

Whenever I become the chip leader in a tournament, which is very seldom, I take a poker selfie to commemorate the moment. I'd rather never be the chip leader, however, if that meant I'd have a deeper run. Last night, in the only tournament I entered, I became the chip leader at the end of hand 52. I lasted another 67 hands, finishing in 14th. A classic case of peaking too early :-)
