My experience at TOT 10-miler was not a fantastic one. Thinking back on it there where a few things I would and wish I could have done differently for example: like possibly done interval training and not tried to run as hard as I could in 100% humidity and not have Chris wheel me out of Hollywood studios in a wheel chair. Oh yea and the being violently sick and almost throwing up on myself on the bus.
Tip one: Plan for every type of weather.
Early October is still rainy and hurricane season in FLA. Because of this I recommend bringing extra of everything. Shoes, undies, socks, shorts, sunscreen bring it all!
Tip two: HYDRATE in advance! Before, during and after.
Hydrate, hydrate, HYDRATE!! Get it yet? Biggest mistake I made was not to hydrate correctly for this race. Start hydrating now. Hydrate during the race with a fuel belt and stop at every water station.You will thank me later.
Tip three: Enjoy the race and after party!
You trained so hard for this! Now it's time to celebrate. Enjoy the 10-mile race and the villainous after party!
Until next time everyone!
QOTD: Are you going to TOT 10-miler? What are you most excited for?

I ran it last year and I'm from Denver, a much dryer climate! Thankfully, I ran with my mom who wanted to take her time and stop at every water stand to hydrate. Smart move! The humidity was a killer!
A really fun race though!!! I loved it and I'm looking forward to the Princess 1/2 in Feb!
Thanks for some great tips
I'm running this year :) hydration won't be a problem for me...I'm the most hydrated person I know! I'm a little nervous since I run in the AM on an empty stomach, but I'm sure eating throughout the day will do wonders! Thanks for the tips!
I'm mostly worried about the threat of a Tropical Storm, but whatever will be will be, I guess. I'm training in Florida, so I'm used to the heat and humidity, thank goodness. I could see that being a huge challenge.
