Today's guest blogger is Cory Freedman. She is the race director for the Toronto Women's Run Series (http://www.towomensruns.com/) - not to mention an avid runner and racer herself. With race season upon us, Cory took time to share her top race morning tips to ensure you get to the start line on time and without any unnecessary grief!
1) Set out your race outfit the night before and pin your bib on your shirt.
2) Figure out what time you want to be at the race and work backwards from there. Be sure to give yourself a little extra time to deal with unexpected delays like traffic.
3) If there is pre race kit pick up, do it! It means one less thing to line up for on race morning.
4) Eat a good pre-race meal - bagel, banana, cereal. Eat whatever you typically eat on the morning of a long training run. Don't do anything new on race morning.
5) Drink water or an electrolyte drink before you enter the start chute.
