Hydration Strategy

Before the Race

Normal hydration. Drink to thirst in the 24 hours before. Avoid over-hydrating.

During the Race

You'll sweat less in the cold but still need fluids. Take small sips at aid stations.

After the Race

Rehydrate within 30 minutes of finishing. A drink with electrolytes and some protein helps recovery.
