1. HYDRATE
Long hours in the sun + drinking alcohol will dehydrate you. Skip the sugary, sports drinks and drink a lot of water/try chasing or alternating alcoholic beverages with coconut water. You can add pedialite to your water too!
2. USE SUNSCREEN, WEAR SUNGLASSES &/ VISORS/HATS
Protect your skin with SPF 30 (light skinned), 50 or higher (melanin poppin’).
Don’t forget to reapply regularly.
The sun can damage your eyes too, so protect them
3. DON’T FORGET HAND SANITIZERS/WIPES
Even before Covid…Port-a-potties are gross, buying from vendors who may not sanitize is gross… Please still have your sanitizers handy to keep your hands as clean & as germ-free as possible.
4. EAT HEALTHY WHEN YOU CAN
Late nights and long days make it easy to resort to fast food/junk food
Stock up on protein-filled snacks like low-fat & low-sugar protein bars and nuts.
Make your Turkey/Tuna sandwiches, pre-cook/slow cook dinner, so it’s ready when you get home.
5. SLEEP
Prevent a breakdown on your immune system to avoid getting run down and sick
***BONUS TIP***
STRETCH !
Stretch and hydrate before the road march to avoid cramping and dead legs. You did not prep for this day to ride out Carnival in an ambulance or on the truck.
See You on the Road!
