RACE DAY! Today it's show time. The past weeks of training will all come together over the 8km today. There are a few things you can do on the day to make sure things run smoothly:

• Get up early and give yourself plently of time to get organised so you are relaxed and stress-free.
• It is a good idea to eat breakfast and have something to drink. Make sure this is something you have been practicing in training.
• Make sure you have everything you need when you leave the house (i.e. your race bib and timing chip).
• It is a good idea to have a warm-up - particularly because you will be running straight up a sharp hill. Do this and then position yourself where you want to be on the start line.
• When the gun goes, stick to your own target running pace! Don't worry about what anyone else is doing - this is a sure fire way to overcook yourself.
• Plan to sip water at the drink stations - don't wait until you feel thirsty.

Good luck!!
