Chip, who ran thefull marathonlast year, had been preparing for the 13.1-mile race for months and posting his preparation strategies on Instagram.
On Saturday, the day before the race, Chip indulged in a ton of carbs and a flight of juice at his family’s restaurant,Magnolia Table.
“Let’s say I’m ‘carb loading’ for tomorrow, but really I’m just stuffing my face!” he wrote alongside a selfie with his food.
Later that day, Chip also shared insights into how he prepped for the run and what he packs in his gear bag: body wipes, water, electrolyte supplements, energy tablets, and sweat bands.
“Alright y’all!! This is what I’m bringing,” he captioned a photo of his gear. “What stuff you got in your #siloDistrictMarathon pack? Win or Lose here’s to all the personal records, all the personal bests. All the nice try’s, and we’ll get em next year. But most importantly, here’s to all the folks that can’t be here today because they’re having to focus all their energy on their personal battles with cancer. And for me.. today I’m running for @gigrunewald! Let’s do this.”
