2) ONE MORE FORM AND YOU ARE DONE
Additional notes:
Keeping Safe during Cyprus Ultra Marathon.
• It is essential that you take electrolytes during the race. Aim for one tab of High5 electrolytes in 750ml of water per hour.
• Keep eating throughout the race to keep your energy levels up. Don’t wait to bonk before you eat, you will lose valuable race time and feel unwell.
• Keep sipping water to ensure that you are hydrated. High humidity often masks how much we are sweating.
• Race tactically. You may want to rest in the afternoon if you are running the 107 km race.
• Wear sunscreen and keep some spare at the main aid station.
• Wear a light coloured/white running cap and running t-shirt. Make sure you
have plenty of spare running clothes for regular changes.
• Be aware that the heat will make your feet swell. Keep those toe nails short. • Have your race number visible at all times.
• Have a Cyprus friendly mobile phone with you at all times and add this number, Michael Rivers 95508007.
• 107 km runners bring several headlamps and torches with spare batteries. Please note that batteries often dump their charge quickly in the heat.
• Make sure that you bring any medication you require and carry it with you, if needed. Spare medication must be labelled clearly and left at the main aid station with your belongings.
• Seek help if you feel unwell.
• Be aware of the signs that you may need to seek shelter (overly fatigued, confused, weak, shaking, overheating, shallow breathing, sweating profusely, stopped sweating, elevated heart race, restlessness or cold). • Keep off of the grassy areas as we have snakes here in Cyprus. The Cyprus Viper has poisonous venom. In the rare event of a bite it is best to call us for help immediately and to not move.
• Run in the centre of the tracks.
• Do not lay down on the trail to rest, use the facilities at the main aid station. • Keep away from any bee hives (white boxes on the trail).
• If there is an emergency, be ready to describe as best as you can where
you are located (which section of the trail you are on, which aid station you
last passed or are near, and what you can see).
• Be careful of your footing on the steeper sections of the trail.
• Wear suitable trail shoes.
• Have plenty of spare socks and blister plasters as the combination of heat,
sweaty feet, and long distances can result in blisters more readily.
• Have some warm comfy layers for the evening and night, as well as a mat
and blanket..
• Have insect repellent for the night.
