RACE DAY TIMELINE
1 HR before race: Arrive and find your team, check out Course Map, hit the bathroom 
35-45 MIN before race: With warm-ups on and trainers, warm-up with your team, stretches and drills
20-25 MIN before race: Change into race flats and put bib on, Coaches Talk.
10-15 MIN before race: Head to Start Line with disposable water bottle to sip and pour
3-10 MIN before race: Establish good position on Start Line and do 3-4 strides
0-3 MIN before race: Listen to starter's instructions… deep breath and relax
The temperature determines when you strip out of the warm-ups. Only when it’s REALLY hot will you not wear warm-ups during the warm-up. Most of the time you’ll take them off just before going over to the Start Line. If it’s chilly, you’ll leave them on until 5 minutes before the race and take them off at the last minute. Make sure you can get out of your warm-up pants quickly (with shoes on)  
10-15 MIN after race: Switch back into trainers, go for cool-down run with your team

WHAT TO DO LEADING UP TO A RACE
TWO DAYS BEFORE - You should always stay hydrated but it's especially important to make sure you're drinking enough the days leading up to a race. Water, not soda or other sugared drinks.
TWO NIGHTS BEFORE - Not only is it important to get a good night's sleep the day before a race but even two days before, since many people have a hard time sleeping the night before a big race. Sleep is something you can store. It's one of the little things that will make a difference in your performance.
THE NIGHT BEFORE – Lay Everything Out. Forgotten trainers, jerseys, race flats, etc. are almost always because of a last minute scramble. Make sure you know how long it will take to get to the meet. Choose a smart time to go to bed based on when you need to leave.
ANYTIME BEFORE YOUR RACE - Visualize your race.  Good racing means having goals and a plan, not running aimlessly for a mile or two.  You’ve prepared hard and travelled all the way to the meet, so do your best.  Decide on your goals: ‘I want to have a 6:30 first mile.’ ‘I’m hanging with Betsy all the way to the end.’  ‘I’m going under 12 minutes today.’  ‘Today, I will be in the top ten.’ ‘I am attacking every hill.’  Anything that gives you an objective and a goal during a race will mean that every stride you take, you take with purpose.  
THREE HOURS BEFORE – EAT.  Things your familiar with.  Nothing greasy or dairy.  Fruit, bagels with a little peanut butter, etc. are good ideas.  Light to moderate volume, not a huge meal. 
RACE TIME 8AM – At most, a bite or two right when you wake up.  Most will not want or need to eat for a race this early. 
RACE TIME 10-11AM – You should eat something when you wake up…two and a half hours before expected race time or so.  You’ll feel rundown the last half of the race if you don’t. 
RACE TIME NOON OR LATER – No choice.  You absolutely have to eat before this race.  Eat a moderate breakfast about 3 hours before your race.  The food will be all through your stomach by race time and you will need the energy food provides. 
AT ALL TIMES - Relax. The future of mankind does not hinge on this race. If you've put in sufficient work, have done the little things to help you race well (good eating, sleep, hydration, etc.), and don’t get too nervous, you’ll be proud of your race.  It’s normal to have some nerves – it keeps you sharp – but don’t waste energy worrying about how well you do – that will tire you out before the race starts.  Sometimes the best races are when you don’t try ‘too hard’, you let the race come to you and stay loose.  Talk to your teammates during warm-up and on the start line.  Say ‘hi’ to someone from another team during strides.  Look around and enjoy the scene and the scenery.  You’re going to be fine!
