Since I tried out the CTS Classic Training last year, I’m still on their email list.
Today, I got some helpful advice for athletes who travel to events.
-
First, create a checklist of what you will need before, during, and after your event
-
Second, do not wait to pack your bags
-
Finallky, set aside a few important items for your carry-on, such as shoes, helmet, and pedals
Wow, what insightful tips those are. I never would have thought of creating a list, or packing my bags ahead of time.
I can add a few that I think might be more helpful:
-
Go online and find your accomodations ahead of time. Print out a map, and if you have time, the location of grocery/convenience stores.
-
Pre-pack items into gallon-sized ziploc bags so they’re already grouped. If you have stuff to put in your jersey pocket, put in all in one place so you don’t have to go searching.
-
Don’t assume you can locate decent food and refreshements. Plan ahead
So, what do you think ?
