* Put on extra clothes or change before you become chilled. If you're tired after a race and become chilled, it can be hard to warm up again.
* If you're feeling okay, drink a [[Protein]]/carbohydrate drink, aiming for 100 grams of [[Protein]].
* If you feel nauseous, then you could try some sipping some ginger ale, chewing on a bit of cucumber, sucking on a mint, nibbling on a plain cracker, or just wait for it to pass. If you need to vomit, then doing so may help, but often [[Nausea|nausea ]] is independent of the need to vomit.
* If you're dehydrated, drink to thirst, but be careful if your hands are swollen or you've not urinated in a while, as you might have [[Hyponatremia]]. If you suspect [[Hyponatremia]], it's probably best to avoid drinking and to seek medical advice.
* If you have blisters, don't [[Popping Blisters| burst them]] unless you can't walk without them spreading.
