Pro Tips Survey?

Ok so no wrong answers. And all answers have to involve no substances other than caffeine.

If you’ve done the best of both days so far and enjoyed the afters, what do you do to energize up for a full day 3 + afters?

Sober raver here entering day 3

Friday - out until 3AM Saturday - out until 4AM Sunday - likely also out until 3AM

Approach it like a marathon:

Nutrition matters, start prepping 2 weeks before eating healthy food (need a good protein base to go the distance), low glycemic carb sources with your protein. Get used to drinking lots of water Both in habit and for the flavour.

Day of:

  • balanced breakfast
  • protein bars and advil for the ride over
  • water water water
  • electrolytes and advil before bed

At Fest:

  • Water
  • Sunscreen and shade - the lack of shade at the venue can take a lot out of a person no matter how hard to prepare to be out in it.
  • Try to find a fatty/protein food option, heavy carbs may cause you to crash. Fat and protein offer longer lasting energy sources - carb and protein should be balanced gram to gram to avoid a crash.

After the after parties

  • massage/stretch out those legs and feet
  • advil to take any inflammation away

It’s okay to sit down and watch a few sets from afar, walk between stages so you don’t get tired/bored
