It’s Not My Fault If You Choose To Follow My Husband’s Advice
Issue #6
Tapering is a Sin
Here’s what I do the week before a race:
- Run every day- however much and for however long I feel is good
- Don’t eat anything new/weird that I don’t know how my body is going to respond to it
- Try to sleep a lot all week (especially if I know I’m gonna be up all night racing)
- Cut my toenails about a week before the race (so they’re not sore from cutting them too short)
- Make a list of the things I will/might need during the race and after the race (it sucks when you start freezing post-race due to calorie deficiencies and you only brought tank tops and shorts cause it’s hot outside)
- Charge all my head/hand lights (or bring spare batteries)
- Double check that I am bringing my water pack
- Make sure I have directions to the park
- Sleep in a tent at the park the night before the race so I don’t have far to go in the morning and can sleep all night
- Don’t get hurt (see Issue #4)
- Make sure your family comes to the race
