| GrantM: | you should practice your warm up routines too, that way you don't have to rush and have time to stretch etc. |

| George: | mm yes good idea. when i get a watch i can wear running i'll actually know what the time is too! |

| GrantM: | I don't wear a watch when I orienteer - I leave it in my bag so it's one less thing to be distracted by - but I make sure I leave to go to the start in plenty of time and do my warm up along the way and at the start. |

| Heffer: | Dad has a good system of working backwards from his start time, then the pre start, then some time at the start to stretch, then the time it takes to get to the start, then warm up time (can happen in the get to start time), then getting dressed time. So it ends up something like this:
Start 10:06 Pre start 10:00 Get to start 9:50 Leave to start 9:40 Warm up 9:25 Get ready 9:00 Arrive at event 8:30 Leave home 6:00 (it's a long way!) Write it down the night before, then the next day you can just look at it, and you don't have to do any thinking about when to leave! Works really really well. |

| George: | yeah thanks for the advice. i've tried doing that kind of thing at a couple of time but only at nationals. I'll give it a try doing it before every race with allocated start times so it can be a routine. |
