For those who have already completed a Half or are training for their first, do you have any pre-race or race day rituals? An outfit you absolutely have to wear? Food you must eat the night or morning of? Lucky headband, hat, bandana? Etc etc?

I would love to hear if other runners are as OCD about their race habits as I am. I always wear the same clothes, right down to the socks, have the same meal in the morning, go to bed at the same time, and wear my armband and HRM even if I'm not using them.

    I always have to wear something with USA Track & Field on it (I used to work there and am a huge fan of the organization). I also always eat the same thing before a race and I always, always have to set everything out the night before any race. I check and triple check the pile to make sure I have everything... watch, running belt, ipod, shoes, socks, etc. I'm really obsessive about forgetting something. So far, so good... :happy:
