  • Countdown To Dopey - Race Day! Be Present, Run the Mile You’re In
    Jan 7 2026

    Race-day nerves and butterflies are normal

    The 5K is a warm-up, not a test

    Conditions may be humid, foggy, or unpredictable — adjust calmly

    Ignore comparison and other runners’ bravado

    If a mile feels hard, manage this mile only

    Adjust pace early if needed — pulling back is smart execution

    Stopping too long often makes restarting harder

    Run your race, in your body, at your effort

    Trust yourself — you did the work

  • Countdown To Dopey Day 1: Tomorrow’s Start Line: How to Stay Calm, Prepared, and Ready for Dopey Challenge
    Jan 7 2026
    • Shakeout runs should be very easy and optional
    • Carb loading is complete — keep food light and familiar
    • Avoid excessive hydration to reduce GI and electrolyte issues
    • Stay off social media forums on race eve
    • Lay out gear once and stop touching it
    • Limit walking and standing as much as practical
    • Expect imperfect sleep — it will not derail your race
    • Set one execution intention (not a pace or time goal)
