| Bottled water close at hand, dehydration creeps up on you from no-where and once it's upon you, you're stuffed as it's too late. It will affect your concentration and lead to splitting headaches and to be honest, a DNF. Non fizzy is the preffered choice.
The last 2 tings I always needed were:
1) a wazz - so a wazz bottle (empty 2 litre Volvic works a treat) works for the blokes.
2) How many times did I put my helmet on in a panic, get down to the paddock area and realise I had left my ear plugs elsewhere.
Put them in your gloves at the end of a race / session and that's all it ever really took.
Best of luck over the w/end.
