Morning of the Race

 

Morning of the Race

• Junior Level The transition area will open at 6:00am and everyone must have their gear set-up and organized before the transition area closes at 7:00am.  There will be a short, mandatory race debriefing at 7:15am, and the first race will begin at 7:30am.
• Senior Level (If your child turns 11 in 2013 or above): The transition area will open at 9:30am and everyone must have their gear set-up and organized before the transition area closes at 10:30am.  There will be a short, mandatory race debriefing at 10:45am, and the first race will begin at 11:00am.
• Eating: Eat something. As with the previous night's meal, eat the same foods your body is used to eating, and eat at least 2 hours before the race so the food can digest. Oatmeal, pasta, baked potatoes, pancakes and muffins are good choices. A beverage high in carbohydrates is a good alternative if you have problems with eating and digesting foods before a race.
• Clothing: Right now the weather is predicted to be in the 60s on Sunday morning, so dress in layers. Swimsuit, light shirt, sweatshirt, sweatpants and hat.
• Arrival: Get there about an hour before the race. It can be fun talking to the other athletes and getting settled in.
• Check in: Take your number with you to the officials and get marked.
