When I start a race I always seem to get an uncomfortably dry mouth for the first 15 minutes or so. It's distracting and makes me drink unnecessarily, which is tricky in a tight criterium race like I did yesterday.
Does anybody know why this dry mouth thing occurs? I suspect it's probably nerves. Any tips on how to prevent it?
