To get you started here are some top Adventure Racing tips from Paul
- Plan specifically for each race
- Find out the detail of the course (distances, terrain, profile, etc) and train accordingly
- Ensure your bike is in good condition and not likely to cause you problems
- This includes tyre and pressure selection to suit the terrain if it is variable
- Select suitable clothing and bag / bum bag etc for event
- Ensure you have practiced in whatever clothing you think you might wear and that your bag does not bounce, provides quick access, etc
- Be prepared for changed weather conditions – mentally and physically
- Ensure footwear is well broken in before event
- This may involve more than one pair of shoes to take account of underfoot conditions
- Plan your food strategy appropriate to the race
- Ensure you have sufficient food for the event and only eat bars/ gels that work for you
- Hydrate often and early - water is usually not sufficient
- Use hydration products that work for in training you such as NUUN, Hi Five, Deoralyte, etc
- Expect the unexpected as it sometimes does happen
- If you have problems along the way just deal with them quickly and get back to racing asap
