Checklist
Hopefully these techniques will be helpful for you when you pack for a race.- Pack your racing Shoes!
- Bring your Uniform
- Bring your warmups
- Bring multiple layers so that you can remove them if it warms up or put more on if it is cold. Bring a change of clothes in case you get wet.
- Pack food that won't bother your stomach before the race. Bagels, bannanas, water, etc. I don't recommend sports drinks before a race. In a 5k race your body is not going to lose enough electrolytes to make it worthwhile, plus they are packed with refined sugars which you don't need before a race.
- Pack food for after your race that will help to fill up your tank
- For long trips bring a pillow and blanket
- Bring any music you need that helps you before your race
- Extra shoes and socks in case they one pair get wet.
- Sunglasses, sunscreen, etc.

inspirations
Out of the silver heat mirage he ran. The sky burned, and under him the paving was a black mirror reflecting sun-fire. Sweat sprayed his skin with each foot strike so that he ran in a hot mist of his own creation. With each slap on the softened asphalt, his soles absorbed heat that rose through his arches and ankles and the stems of his shins. It was a carnival of pain, but he loved each stride because running distilled him to his essence and the heat hastened this distillation.
