Cold Start
We're expecting a cold front this weekend that will affect parts of the course in the early morning hours. Please be prepared with extra layers. We expect it to warm up on Saturday, however, so please be sure to stay hydrated.
Stay HydratedMake sure that your team is prepared for the heat by taking the following precautions:
1.PRE-HYDRATE, HYDRATE, RE-HYDRATE - Runners should pre-hydrate before each of their legs, hydrate while running, and re-hydrate after each of their legs. Water should be supplemented with electrolytes such as Gatorade, SaltSticks, etc. Proper hydration is obtained when the runner has clear (light lemonade colored) and copious urine...but please, use the portable toilets.
2.OBSERVE YOUR RUNNER - Closely monitor the condition of your runners before, during, and after each leg. If the heat index is above 90°, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Above a heat index of 105°, heat exhaustion is likely and heat stroke is probable with continued activity.
3.SUNSCREEN - Lathering up is cool...especially if you are wearing a Speedo.
Breakfast options available at the start lineChaparral Homemade Ice Cream will be set up at the Start Line again this year. They will have delicious goodies and hot drinks to help get you started. Check out their menu online here.
Happy Running,
Cydney Westgate
