Nailing your race week routine We spend a lot of time planning our training, but little time thinking about creating the ideal few days before a big race to leave us calm, relaxed and ready to race. Here’s a few things that I include in my race-week routine that might help you plan your own. Alcohol and caffeine If it’s an important race, I stop having alcohol and caffeine at least a week beforehand. Mostly this is about getting a good night’s sleep. I find that just one glass of wine or a morning coffee can mean a restless sleep, so in the name of resting up well, I cut them out in the run up to the race. I also have gels that have caffeine in them for race day, and it feels like I get more of a kick from them mid-race after no caffeine for a week beforehand, but that might just be in my head. Some of my friends swear by a drink the night before a race to chill them out and help them nod off, everyone’s different. Grooming I’m not big on this generally, being someone who gets my...

Eliminate consumer debt.   I’m happy to report that I’m still making good progress on all these action items. I have not been traveling as much for work, so cooking more is happening, which is great. I did terribly at packing my lunch over the past week, but I’ll be back on track this week. As far as finding a church home, this is still a work in progress.
