Races: Final tips for the Hood to Coast Relay

Coach Joe English

With the Hood to Coast Relay coming this weekend, I thought I would pass along some final tips that should help you have fun with your team-mates out there on the road this weekend.

I previously published an article on the training aspects of preparing for a multi-day relay like Hood to Coast. It may be a little late to implement some of the training suggestions, but for a discussion of pacing considerations during the race, you may want to check it out anyway by clicking here.

I also included a list of tips for success in the race, which I include here are the bottom of this post.

Have fun out there. Hood to Coast is an amazing experience!
