Do some jumping jacks and high knee lifts as well. Get your body warm and flexible before even getting on the bike. I like to go for a short (5 minute) jog before a race, that gets my whole body up to temp and the blood and other fluids moving around.

I've always had arm pump problems and this has been what works best for me: About 30-40 minutes before I ride I get the blood flowing in my forearms by pumping my wrists by opening and closing my hands hard until my forearms start to get sore. Then I relax till my forearms start to recover then repeat the whole thing one more time. This process really helps for me. Another thin that really helps is to lean forward when you accelerate to take the pull off your arms (also a great energy saver).

+1.....Got to remind myself of this early on in a race then after a while, it just comes naturally to relax at every opportunity during the race.

+2....you would think after 130 or so Enduros and Harescrambles one wouldn't need to remind yourself to relax your grip and breath, but I have to do it every every time. It is the anxiety and intensity that gets me in the first 1/2 hour. After that, I fly around with no issues. So warming up really helps me. Going to the new Restart format for Enduros has killed me. It was great for me to have that 3 mile warm up at the start.
