1. STAY HYDRATED!
Proper hydration is critical for your cells and body to function properly. You should be drinking water thoughtout the day; avoid "tanking up" just prior to the race or a workout. If you drink sports drinks, try diluting them with 50% water to allow your body to better balance it's electrolytes and salts.
2. STRETCH!
A good stretch after a workout or race will help your body recover more quickly and to reduce the risk of injury. You want to stretch while your body is still warmed up and be sure to stretch each muscle group for at least 20 seconds.
