Its Race Day!!
The Night Before a Race!
BE PREPARED!!!:
You have to make sure that all your stuff is packed, your alarm is set, your Breakfast is ready... Literally everything has to be ready.
What to pack:
- Helmet
- Cleats (if you ride with them)
- Gloves
- Extra Socks
- Extra Pants
- Extra Shirt
- Water Bottle, 2
- Tire Pump
- Puncture Repair Kit
- Ride Snacks
You have to be prepared for the worst, meaning that you have to go to the full extent to pack everything that crosses your mind, you don't want to arrive their and then have to ask people for stuff because you forgot to pack it in, that's the absolute worst thing to do at a race... Fortunately their are generous people at the races that are always willing to give a helping hand.
CHECK YOUR BIKE:
Two nights before your race you should go have a good look at your bike to see if their are any problems, problems like punctures, gear settings and faulty brakes, these are all important Factors for you to actually ride your bike, I say 2 nights before the race because you then get the following day to fix it all, whether you take it to a bike shop, or you fix it yourself, you still get that extra time that you don't have to worry.
MAKE SURE YOUR BIKE IS CLEAN:
When you are at a race you don't want to be the guy who always shows up with a dirty bike, at least go through the effort to take some mud off your bike, this will also help with maintenance later on in the day, you will then be able to see all your components and be able to check if they are damaged or need repairing. I have a post in which I taught you guys how to was your bike in just a couple of minutes, you can find it right......... HERE!!
BEFORE YOU START THE RACE:
Relax and take a big long breath, you shouldn't have any worries going into that race because you had enough courage to sign up for the race, that courage then tells me that you believe in yourself.... and that is AWESOME, don't stop believing in you capability on the track, you've trained hard for this day, now make it yours!!
WHY DO ALL OF THIS?
It makes you feel better on the race day and on the track, you then have no worries while you are driving to the race venue if you had forgotten something...
Oh and one more thing..... ENJOY IT!!! Go make some new Friends that you feel comfortable around, this will help you in the long run where you then always have a training partner!!
