What’s the old adage? “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
Ryan Sandes takes us through his UTCT 100km race day gear.
Coming from a multi-day desert running background, to racing in many of the worlds most prestigious and gnarly 100miler races, Ryan knows the importance of preparing for race day. All the way down to what socks you wear or where you store your gels.
There many elements out on the trail that you aren’t able to control. So do what you can to give yourself the best chance for an enjoyable day out there by making sure you have the right gear and are familiar with your race day setup, have your nutrition dialled in and be sure to do your research on where the aid stations are to get an idea on how much you may need to carry between them.
No one likes those uncomfortably chafes in weird places, getting spiked in your back by some unknown object or running dry between refuelling points.
*Be sure to make sure you have ALL OF THE MANDATORY gear for registration and race day.
