| Oh my God!!One day to go until my first
| |
| | the eve of the race, be sure to go, but
|
| Ironman!What on earth do I do on that
| |
| | when its over, leave. Go back to
|
| last day?If you are preparing for your
| |
| | where-ever you're staying and relax.Take
|
| first Ironman, you will soon be facing
| |
| | it from the ultimate expert. I did.I ran
|
| this question.Here are a few things to do
| |
| | into Dave Scott after one compulsory
|
| and not to do on that last
| |
| | pre-race meeting the Saturday before a
|
| day.....Whatever you do, don't do a hard
| |
| | Sunday race. I had a conversation with
|
| workout of any sort.Do however, a short
| |
| | him. I actually asked him about that last
|
| workout(15-20 minutes)in each event. Just
| |
| | day before the race.He said most people
|
| enough to keep you sharp for your race
| |
| | are so nervous they go to the pre-race
|
| the next morning. Its not recommended to
| |
| | meeting, they go to the expo, they wander
|
| take this day completely off. Mark
| |
| | around in the sun getting themselves
|
| Allen(a Hawaii Ironman champion many
| |
| | tired and dehydrated and even more
|
| times over)suggests 10 by 10 second
| |
| | nervous.His best advice to me...."Do
|
| sprints in each event on that final
| |
| | what you have to do. Then get away from
|
| day.Do not go down to the expo and spend
| |
| | the crowds. Get out of the sun. Get away
|
| hours on your feet wandering around.Visit
| |
| | from all that nervous energy and pre-race
|
| the expo earlier in the week, not on the
| |
| | jitters. Go to your room, put your feet
|
| eve of the race. Stay away from crowds if
| |
| | up. Rest and relax. Eat early, be sure
|
| at all possible.Don't eat anything
| |
| | you're properly hydrated."He was 100%
|
| strange---stay out of restaurants if you
| |
| | right. I did that and I did it every
|
| can. Hopefully you will have a kitchentte
| |
| | Ironman after that. It was exactly the
|
| and can make your own meals.Don't eat too
| |
| | correct thing to do.I hope this advice
|
| late on your last evening. Personally, I
| |
| | helps you with your final day before your
|
| found that eating my last large meal no
| |
| | first Ironman. It sure helped me.My name
|
| later than 4 p.m. on the eve of the race
| |
| | is Ray and I have a background of over 25
|
| worked the best for me.This is VERY
| |
| | years in endurance sports including 14
|
| important!! Stay out of the sun!If there
| |
| | Ironman triathlons. I have built a
|
| is any check-in business to take care of,
| |
| | website full of training and racing tips
|
| do it as early in the day as possible.If
| |
| | for the first time ironman triathlete...
|
| there is a compulsory pre-race meeting on
