"You think"!
Packing way some the last stuff from Disney, I happened to flipping through the guide for the Disney races. As I was doing so, I stopped on the Medical Tips and Information page and began reading through it. Most of the information made sense. In fact, most of what they was said, I would actually consider to be common sense.
That is until I got down to the section on "Narcotics".
Here's what it said and I quote from the booklet.
"Narcotics should be avoided within 48 hours of race day due to the harm effect on performance, perception, and mental status."
"Duh", I think this is pretty obvious at least to me.
But as I think about it more; maybe there are some people that think it is okay to be loaded when they reach the starting line. I don't see how, but who knows what goes through a person's mind.
I mean, don't you have to be a little wacky to want to run 26.2 miles in the first place. LOL.
Sharing some of the crazier thoughts this time,

I Can't imagine being under the influence or suffering residual effects of a substance on or around race day, let alone training days. I guess some people can do it, but don't they wonder how they would perform both mentally and physically if they were "clean"?
Cheers, and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the laugh today. I really think that is understood too but love that someone felt is had to be stated.
Happy Wednesday!
