Water Stops

• Tip regarding races and water stops:  when water is available on both sides, consider opting for the left side of the road. My experience (in US, anyway) is that people tend to gravitate toward the right side of the road in instances when there are water stops on both sides.
• I get water from the end (last volunteers) at a water stop to respect runners behind me, and to better allow for me to walk and drink after the end of the water stop near the side of the road, without causing pile-ups or collisions of runners approaching from behind.
• See information in the Fueling section of AskRunGuy regarding water and nutrition to use during a race.
