1. Prioritize rest this week (Tue-Thu) - rest your body!

2. Fuel to consider during event: Simple Carbs: easily digestible, quick releasing and convenient to consume, such as:

• Glucose + Fructose Combo: Sports drinks, energy gels, chews/gummies - your body can absorb more carbs per hour when both types are consumed.

• Real Food: Dried fruit, white bread, rice cakes, honey/jam, oat-based bars - more variety and satisfying for longer events like Golgotha.

• Simple Carbs + Electrolytes: Coconut water, pretzels with sports drinks, liquid carb drinks, a combo of the two categories above - this combo combats energy crash and dehydration which will be critical if you plan to do this event!

• Don't try new things on game day. Bring things your system is accustom to but you'll need to hydrate every hour (except one).

3. Items to bring if you are staying a while:

• Resting supplies (pillow, mat, or camp chair)

• Changes of clothes, gym gear

• Headlamp if going outdoors to run/walk

• Bible/Journal and follow along

• Personal Medical items: prescriptions, first-aid, ibuprofen, Tylenol, etc.

• Recovery Tools: Roller, lacrosse ball, Massage Gun, etc.

4. Experience not Intensity: You can nap and skip workouts. No one is the hero, Jesus is and let Him do His work in you - we are along for the ride. Modify, scale, and be expectant that the LORD will do mighty things in and through you.
