Before departure

XC Bus Travel and Away Meets
Pack the food that survives the ride, the wait, and the trip home.

Pack simple, durable foods
On the bus
Bagels, cereal, pretzels, fruit, bars, sandwiches, and milk boxes travel well.
3
Anchor food to the real start
At the meet
The printed schedule is a guide; arrival and the actual start set the rhythm.
4
Recovery does not wait for dinner
On the way home
Pack a recovery option for the ride instead of assuming the team will eat later.
A good away-meet bag covers the ride, the wait, the race, and the trip home.
