1. Right after the race get in a recovery drink that has both protein and carbohydrates.
2. Put on your Crocs Prepair™ Sandals to help your feet, and body, relax and recover more quickly
3. Get on a pair of recovery socks like the CEP Compression Socks
4. In the next few hours get a quick and easy massage.
5. After an hour or two eat a good meal with lots of vegetables, lean proteins and complex carbs.
6. Sleep, naps are vital to help the muscles repair from the damage of the session/race.
7. Drink a combination of water and sports drink frequently to keep the muscles hydrated
8. Get a good nights sleep. Again, one of the best recovery tools.
9. Keep your Crocs Prepair™ sandals on so your body is ready for the next competition.
