Summary

There are a number of details and logistics that go into race-day success. Race directors provide an Athlete Guide with pertinent information...but are you using this resource to your advantage? In this episode, TriDot Coaches Jeff Raines and John Mayfield provide "Your Guide to the Athlete Guide," highlighting why reading the guide is important and how to leverage that information in your race. The guide includes great information about athlete check-in, course maps, and event parking. But beyond the logistics, the guide can also be used to refine your race execution plan. Aid station placements and nutrition offerings can enhance your race nutrition plan, elevation changes on the course can refine your pacing strategy, and course descriptions including historical weather patterns can help you plan not only your gear, but heating and/or cooling strategies as well. There are a number of advantages at your fingertips - listen in to learn more! Huge thanks to deltaG for partnering with us on this episode.
