Road trip
Build a cooler, not a guess

- Add instant oatmeal, nut butter packets, bars, and race fuel for the full week.
Air travel
Carry-on snacks are non-negotiable
- Bring bars, nuts, dried fruit, electrolyte packets, and a solid meal option.
- Fill bottles with water after security and keep sipping through the airport.
Hotel arrival
Restock before the first meal
- Research grocery stores and restaurants before the trip begins.
- Buy breakfast foods, snacks, and hydration supplies as soon as the team arrives.
