Travel and nutrition tips
Air travel is dehydrating and may cause jet lag. But you can reduce the impact by:
- Packing nutritious snacks to avoid the salty airplane snacks
- Drink at least 250mL each hour on a flight
- Avoid coffee, tea, and caffeinated beverages

Dryland training videos
In this video filmed at the Special Olympics BC Athletics and Snowshoeing Performance Camp on May 9-10, 2015, SOBC – Abbotsford coach Tom Norton leads the athletes through a dryland circuit. The video contains both explanations and demonstrations that can be used for every sport as a off-season training program. This works out about an hour to an hour and a half. He starts with a dynamic warm up, circuit, hills, and stairs, and finishes with a sprint exercise.
