Tips if you are racing Geelong 70.3 (or any long course race in the next 3-6 weeks)
—> or save this for future races
– Abstain from the desire to test or validate constantly; pick 1-2 key and appropriate sessions and nail them
– Maintain your strength work – both resistance and sports specific… it is critical
– Maintain your ‘aerobic development’ in the form of endurance based sessions… they are also critical
– Sample Race day nutrition and hydration (at race day dosages) in a couple of your key sessions
– If you are still building in one of the disciplines then maintain your patience and a steady progression
– Remember that more isn’t necessarily better
– Test and trial new gear/equipment now… don’t wait until race day
– Book in massage, services and other treatments ahead of time
– Maintain healthy, sustainable habits: sleeping, eating, hydration, rest, recovery, strength work, endurance training
– Ignore the hype and nervous chatter; keep it simple and stay your course
– Dont get caught up in over analysis and obsessing with the numbers… you’ll find out how fast you can be come race day
– Enjoy the final period of preparation
