Best with Potassium and Magnesium is Pineapple each crew buy 2. Slice, ziplock it and refrig. Comes Sunday nice and cold. Good source of food and electrolyte. The rest in gatorade and water. When in the Escort boat keep stretching and line those spine back into alignement, it will last you longer than a twick back. 1 hr. before the end, RedBULL is good.
When it's rough, watch the bow, it canl hit your head. Swim into or back toward your canoe always anticipate and line each other and watch each others back. Take time to zip up and velcro in. Push with your knee up, water that's in your lap. Assign a team captain in your crew, manage your logistics (bags, slipper, hydration and food out of the main bag)in the loading dock. Check your rigging somebody may have cut it loose, check the front and back duck tape. On the finish don't wait around, find a spot/tire in the beach and unrigged your boat (team effort) it get very crowded find Gilbert or Sunny where they want your boat at. AMA's head goes infront of sit 3 and ley it down on top of 4th and 5th sit, guys take care of your equipment/boat first. Account your paddle your rigging rope/ straps and rubber. Guys in the Escort boat on the finish get your TEAMates stuff out and careful that pavement in the dock in very hot get your slippers and met your crew in the sand. Then get yourself/ TEAM a drink and say BOOOYAAA!!!!
Don't leave anything behind, paddle hard and pace yourself but try to really watch those bump they're faster than your own effort. Get 'em and ride them they will save you lots of energy at the end. Get the small one- it will lead you to the BIG ONE.
