It is important that revellers adhere to certain fundamentals in
order to get the most from the occasion.
Pre-Event: The week before, eat plenty of healthy carbohydrates,
such as whole grain bread, pasta and bananas. Carry identification
and an emergency phone number in a pouch or in your shoes. If you
have a medical condition, such as diabetes or asthma, wear a medical
identification bracelet.
Foot Care: Prior to going on the road trim those toenails –
especially the big toe; if you are prone to blisters protect those
vulnerable areas by wearing Dr. Scholl’s pads; wear comfortable and
preferably well worn foot wear; don’t wear slippers, sandals, boots
or heels.
Skin Care: The sun can be very unforgiving so it would be
advisable to apply sun block to all exposed areas with a SPF of 30
or more.
Hydration: Make sure you are well hydrated throughout the day

that one should drink water and sports drinks ad lib as determined
by your individual thirst.
