• Use the rest stops. Porta-potties, water
and medical assistance are normally
available at rest stops along the route.
Take five to 10 minutes to catch your
breath and have some water and orange
slices while you take in the visuals –
whirring wheels, brightly coloured jerseys
and bikes. This is fund-raising in action
and you are part of it! Not too long a rest
though, or your muscles will stiffen.
• After you cross the finish line, bask in
your accomplishment and stretch. Get
out of sweaty clothes as soon as possible,
stretch, eat something with complex
carbohydrates and a little protein within
30 minutes of finishing – it will help your
recovery. Stretch some more. You get the
picture; the more you loosen up now the
less you’ll ache later.
• Stick around for the ceremonies,
entertainment, prizes and food. You’ve
earned it. «OO
