Your Final Race Week Checklist (Two Oceans ULTRA Marathon)
Race week is here.
And now… the goal is simple: don’t mess it up.
You’ve already done the hard work.
Now it’s about managing the little things that make a big difference 👇
✔️ Pack smart (your race kit goes in your hand luggage)
✔️ Have a checklist... don’t leave anything to chance
✔️ Be efficient at the expo (in, out, off your feet)
✔️ Nothing new... no shoes, no nutrition, no risks
✔️ Control stress, sleep, and routine this week
Because here’s the truth…
You can’t gain fitness this week.
But you can lose your race if you’re careless.
So keep it simple.
Control the controllables.
And arrive on that start line calm, confident, and ready.
Now go enjoy it 💙
