Journey to Walking 26.2—What to Bring on a Race

***This post contains affiliate links.

When you do a long race or a long training walk, it's important to have certain supplies on hand.  Here's what I bring along:

1.  water
2.  sport drink
3.  electrolyte replacement (such as Jelly Belly Sport Beans, Shot Blocks, or GU Chomps)
4.  energy gel (such as GU)
5.  anti-chafing cream (such as Chamois Butt'r)
6.  chapstick
7.  band-aids
8.  tissues (for sniffles or potty stops)
9.  cell phone
10.  GPS sports watch

Be sure to check out the video below for more detail and an explanation of why I bring these things along.
