Race Preparation and Nutrition

Salt Loading

Remember that the hotter it is, the more you need salt. 
Drinking electrolytes is okay, but there's a chance you can actually have too much and causes your body to get rid of the natural electrolyte levels. 
Get some pink himalayan sea salt and sprinkle that on your food for the race week.

Carb Loading

Add about a fist full of carbohydrates with each meal as you can. 
But remember that you're going to feel heavy because you need to store the same amount of water (in grams) that you do for the carbs you intake. 
But don't carb load the night before a race.   
Remember that for race day, it's 1 gram of carbs per kilo of body weight per hour.

Tips for Race Day

Oil on their shoulders so your wetsuit glides, and on your calves. 
Have your wetsuit just below your calfs.  Vaseline around your neck as well. 
Plastic bags on your hands and feet to get your wetsuit on. 
Get a good warm up or your arms before the swim. 
Baby shampoo to prevent foggy goggles.
