How to manage your refreshment out of the zones of provisionings
- > the heat on 6666 Occitan and the Grand Raid Occitan
An importing parameter not to neglect is the management of the heat, which can turn out high at the beginning of June.
Generally speaking, think of filling well your pockets with water or tins, by not forgetting to decrease the doses of energy powder not to saturate your absorption of sugars, with the risk of having digestive problems. To have a more precise idea of the time which you will spend between two water sources, I invite you to consult the board of the time of passage. Between the first one and the last runner you should be situated.
Except the provisionings, you will find some water on the circuit to cool, natural in the form of brooks, rivers, springs, faucets, or brought in 70 liters containers placed sensibly.
-> Use and locations of the containers :
* Use :
Every container filled with water will be accompanied with a tumbler planned to splash you. By hygiene, think of not making it above but next to the reserve of water, and replace the tumbler. It is evident that it is not question to have a quick dip inside !
