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.

One late afternoon, after swimming in a lake, he began to jog around to ease his chill. Soon enough he found himself running for the sheer exhilaration of it, across the moor and toward the coast. The sky filled with crimson clouds, and as he ran a light rain started to fall. With the sun warming his back, a rainbow appeared in front of him, and he seemed to run toward it. Along the coast the rhythm of the water breaking against the rocks eased him, and he circled back to where he had begun. Cool, wet air filled his lungs. Running into the sun now, he had trouble seeing the ground underneath his feet, but still he rushed forward, alive with the movement. Finally spent as the sun disappeared from the horizon, he tumbled down a light hill and rested on his back, his feet bleeding, but feeling rejuvenated. He needed to reconnect to the joy of running, to get away from the tyranny of the track
