Want help in getting ready? Here are a few race day tips from Meredith Nelson:
Despite the cold weather, remember to hydrate. Drink 8 oz of water before the race, and 8 oz every 15-20 minutes during the event. Afterwards, continue to hydrate at the rate of 8 – 10 oz every 15 minutes for an hour or so.
***
If your event is the 5K, you probably will only need water – no sports drinks or gels – during the race.
***
If you are running the 15K and plan to be on the course longer than an hour, you may want to hydrate with Gatorade, Powerade, or another sports drink and/or gel to provide carbohydrates and electrolytes.
***
Not a coffee drinker? Today’s not the day to start. But if you are used to having a morning cup o’ joe, go ahead. The caffeine may even improve your performance (but only slightly).
***
The weather during Charlie Post can be anywhere from a pleasant 50 degrees to a treacherous 30-something with rain. Be sure to dress in layers that you can remove easily and don’t mind throwing away on the course.
