Participation in any competition for an athlete is honored and the way to note the efforts made to prepare. Upon completion, the medal is hanging on the most prominent place as a reminder of his own strength of spirit and responsibility before the goal. Taking into account the fact that more and more people are fond of professional sports, I decided to tell the beginners as it should be prepared for the beginning of the competition.
We register on the race
For any pleasure you need to pay - this phrase you have long memorized by heart. Competitions on the run is not an exception, because in the preparation of each of them the organizers invest not only forces, but also their own material resources. As a participant, you need to buy a slot - this is the right to register and participate in the race with concomitant prizes. Sometimes the winners are given money and even cars, but often it will be a ticket to the sea or a set of sports nutrition from the sponsor. The rest also give commemorative souvenirs: a backpack, a T-shirt, a cap, handles and notebooks - usually a list of such. On the Day of Competitions with confirmed armor, you confirm participation in the race at the reception rack with a certificate of health status, and in exchange you give you a room - you will attach it to the chest or thigh before the race.
College backpack
Athlet's sports bag will necessarily enter a couple of cross-country sneakers, sportswear for the season, two pairs of socks, energy gels and telephone with headphones. To take a bottle of water or not, define it yourself, having learned in advance from the organizers, whether drinks will be provided at the intermediate points of the track. If your sports pants have a posterior pocket on the belt, fold the phone and a couple of gels into it. If not, buy a small sports belt - she will repeat you in the future.

We learn the rules of decency
Competitions are, above all, the celebration of the Spirit and the Force of People. Do not darken a wonderful holiday with your offensive behavior: remember the rules of ethics when you decide to cut someone on the track for the sake of the best result or leave a person in trouble with a damaged foot due to fear lose extra seconds. In each sport, there is a community - usually it is based on the basis of a sports club, but sometimes it is organized by the participants of the competition. It was during such heavy competitions that it is possible to test people to the stitchiness and see them in real - nothing is exposed to the soul better than fatigue.
Do not overestimate yourself
People who have not been involved in athletics before, they sincerely believe that it is easy to run 10 km of distances. You dare to assure that this is not: even 5 km may seem to you if your physical training leaves much to be desired. You can buy a slot 10 km and put a goal to the competition, and you can limit the least distance. Often, crossing competitions are carried out in European capitals - this is an excellent opportunity to make a sightseeing tour of the city while it is blocked from the road.
