Today’s Topic is: Five Things in Your Race Kit

What wouldn’t I race without?

In addition to a skirt, top, socks and shoes:

1.Garmin watch

I run without it. I don’t rely on it during a race. But I like to look at its stats after.

2.SpiBelt

I don’t like to put pins in my clothes.  I also like to have the ability to take off an outer layer.  So I attach my bib to it. I can carry my phone in it. That leaves room in my pockets for GUs and car keys.

3.Goodr Sunglasses

I wear contacts and the wind, sun and glare bother my eyes.

I’m pretty partial to Goodrs. And they have so many colors, they can match any outfit. And they are so light and comfy.

4. Baseball Cap

It keeps my unruly hair out of my face. It also shields my face from the sun, wind and rain. Not a fan of headbands and visors – anyway you can get melanoma on your scalp.)

Brooks Run Happy ones are my favorites but I can wear most brands (even race ones).

5.iPhone

To take photos before and after and also to keep in touch with others.

***Compression Calf Sleeves

Not a necessity but maybe my security blanket.  Once I raced without them (in Florida), I ended up with a calf injury. Now I wear them all the time.  I wear the sleeves so I can wear any socks I choose.

Zensah are my faves but I also have a few pairs of Legendware.

Happy Running! What things are in your race kit? Please share.
