Common mistakes on Race Day!<br />
The most common mistakes that I have seen are:<br />
S<br />
Sticking to a plan at all cost. If <strong>for</strong> some un<strong>for</strong>eseen reason you cannot follow the<br />
plan (you lost a bottle, or you are developing gastrointestinal problems), do not<br />
continue with the plan at all cost. Be flexible and adapt. A slightly lower intake is<br />
not going to be a problem, <strong>for</strong>cing more nutrition in will.<br />
S<br />
Do not try something new on race day. I see athletes walk around on expos, buying<br />
new products <strong>for</strong> the race the next day. Only use products that you have tried and<br />
tested, products you know you tolerate well.<br />
S<br />
Thinking that more is better. Drinking more, eating more is not always better. Sure,<br />
you have to take in enough energy and enough fluids, but once you achieve the<br />
basic needs, more is not necessarily better and in some cases detrimental.
