<\/a><\/p>\n1. Mark your Calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n The big day is on the 29 May 2016, we\u2019ve done the maths and that\u2019s t-minus 8 weeks to get into your 54km gear. Maximize the time left by getting some practice in, whether it\u2019s indoors or out, every kilometre counts.<\/p>\n 2. Keep it Real<\/strong><\/p>\n With storm drains, scaffolding and some tricky technical sections to tackle on the Hollard JUMA, it\u2019s definitely a good idea to get off the trainer and into the wild. Go for a skills clinic, try a new or more technical route and take on obstacles you\u2019ve never tried before and you\u2019ll be ready for anything the Hollard JUMA 54km can throw at you. <\/p>\n 4. Pack Some Rocket Fuel<\/strong><\/p>\n Breakfast is the most important pre-race meal, try to eat a breakfast that includes a little protein at least 3 hours before the race – did someone say boerewors? There will be three fully stocked water points along the way, but for the dips and drops in between we recommend stocking your pack with some fuel good food \u2013 think fruit, nuts, biltong and a gel or two.<\/p>\n 3. Never Go Full Race Snake<\/strong><\/p>\n With the rush of the start it\u2019s easy to get caught up trying to stay with the leaders up front, unfortunately enthusiasm will only get you so far. Rather start out slow, take the race at your pace. You might be surprised that, towards the end, you\u2019ll start passing riders that were sprinting the start.<\/p>\n 5. Accept the Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re the kind of rider that wants the fun to last a little longer enter the 54km Hollard JUMA today.
