Checklist for NCS Weather

For NCS on Saturday: Race packing list
• long sleeve warm-up
• warm-up jacket and/or rain jacket
• warm-up pants /sweats
• 3 pair of socks (1 warm-up pair, 1 light-weight/thin race pair, and one pair for post-race)
• gloves
• knit cap
• warm clothes to change into after the cool down
• (and of course all of your usual stuff)

Timing of things
1. Make sure that you attach you timing chip to your races shoes and your number to your race singlet as soon as you get it.
2. Put your race shoes and race singlet in a place where they will keep dry until you finally put them on
3. Once done with your warm-up and once you have put on your race flats and singlet, put on your long warm-up pants and a warm jacket of long-sleeve jersey to wear to the start line - the idea is to keep warm once you have warmed up - duh.
  • Shed the top last - right before grouping up in the start box.
  • Alternates will be at the start line and collect the pants and long sleeve tops/jackets in a trash bag just before the start
4. Have fun!
