The importance of course recon/ familiarisation
Knowing how long a hill is, how far you have to go, where the drink stations are and just the simple things like the correct way to go are critical for a good performance.
Course recon or course familiarisation helps you know all of these things and is a great thing to do before key races and events.
In this video I get out for a bit of course recon for one of my up coming events.
