extra intense workout
regular workout

I was musing about this as I tried to ignore Ostentatious Exercise Guy at the gym this morning.

Light workout or rest. Check your gear.

Two days before, I try to make sure my gear is ready. That's because retaping my swords makes my hands sore and my fingers stiff so I don't like doing it the night before.

I don't do any work out the day before. I try to drive to the tourney location if it is not within 2 hours and I try to sleep. Sleep often fails me, so if nothing else, I can at least be in bed and surf the net or watch TV.

I now have a new rule. NEVER eat anything weird for breakfast the day of the tourney. Even if it is the most delicious chocolate chip pancakes in the entire world.

Hydration, hydration, hydration. Good sleep, stretching, make sure my gear is in good shape and I have a new sword taped up.
