Mistakes made on race weekend

Posted September 23rd, 2009 by Eric Johnson - This entry has been tagged with: beginners, racing

• Spending the day before your race on your feet (at expo, sightseeing, etc) or in the sun.

• Eating something new the night before the race.

• Buying a new piece of gear (racing flats, aero wheels, etc) which hasn't been tested by you in training.

• Changing your race plan (going faster than you have trained, eating more/less, deciding to start at the front of the swim, etc).

• Overhydrating/underhydrating

***Not checking your bike for mechanical problems (loose bolts, shifting, brakes).

Everyone has a good story about how they screwed themselves up at some race. I'd love to hear your story.
