How to Race

After all the hard work, now you are almost ready to race. Racing should be fun, at least early in the race. However, a good race does take thorough planning. With careful preparation, you can avoid many unexpected problems. But planning cannot start the day before the race; it must start weeks before. Check out our guide to preparing to race.
