My Top 7 Tips for the City to Surf

Maree, Greg, Christy, Christel, and Saskia…are competing in the City to Surf tomorrow- good luck guys!

Here’s my top tips for everyone in the City to Surf

Rest: Have a good nights rest the night before- have a decent sized dinner and have heaps of water right throughout the day.

Put out your clothes the night before: Put out the clothes you will be competing in so there are no delays on Sunday morning.

Set 2 alarms and allow yourself plenty of time to get to the race early- be at least an hour early.

Drink Water Before the race: Have a decent amount of water before, during and after the race

At the Start: Pace yourself- many people will get caught up in the moment and sprint like its the 100 metres final at the Olympics, you will pass them again soon enough!

Eat After the Race: do a good stretch and have some healthy food containing protein soon afterwards (before celebratory drinks).

The Day after the Race: There is a good chance you will be a little stiff. A hot bath, stretching, massage and some gentle exercise will all help. Eat regularly to help your body rebuild.

And most importantly have fun, enjoy the experience have a fun fantastic day!
