What do you bring on competition day? Here is what we recommend!
You should bring stuff you really like to eat because you’re not going to want to eat on competition day. You should bring stuff that is super easily digestible, easy on your stomach and calorie dense. This is the time to eat candy, baby food, and drink a bunch of protein shakes. Personally, we like gatorades, dried fruit, trail mix, RX bars, starburst, skittles or m&ms. You need stuff that is going to make you want to eat because you’re not going to want to eat but you need it to help fuel your body.
For breakfast the morning of the competition you should really focus on a lot of protein and a lot of complex carbs just so you have some food to sustain you during the competition. You’re not going to want to eat the morning of a competition but you need to do everything you can to have a breakfast that you can really look forward to eating so you will eat it. Make sure you eat a good dinner the night before as well so you have energy going into the competition.
Make sure you think about what time of the year it is. If it’s summer or winter during the competition make sure you wear weather appropriate clothing. You should bring a tent, chairs, a cooler, a table, pvc pipe, small band to do activation stuff, etc. I would try to be inside if that is a possibility. Bring clothes that fit the weather.
