I woke up from limited sleep today very exctited! Today is my first triathalon, Zeb has already done one before. When I was younger I always thought I would be doing these things all the time once I got out of school… on well a late start is better than never doing it at all.
I had limited time to get ready this morning and by nature I am a forgetful person so i looked up race day checklists and below is what I found:
SWIM:
Swim suit (check) , Wetsuit (that would be nice becasue I think we are having record low temps but we dont have any), Goggles (good ideal but i dont have those either), swim cap (Don’t have it and I dont want to mess up my hair), Lubricant or anti-chafe (have way to much of that jk), Towel (Check), Ear Plugs (dont need um).
BIKE:
Bike (got it), Helmet (would have forgot it), Bike shorts (got um but they still dont help), Bike shoes (same as my running shoes), Sunglasses (good idea), Water Bottles ( Check), Energy Gel ( I will get some), Bike Gloves (dont have um), Spare tube (dont have it). I added my own here, tire pump (check).
RUN:
Race shoes with quick laces (well I have shoes), Cap or Visor (scotch lobster hat is already on), Lubricant for feet (I dont know why but you know my situation on lubricant), race number (we will pick that up at the race), Energy Gel (We will get some).
OTHER:
Warm cloths or rain Clothes (its cold and rainy.. Check). Sunscreen(check), bag (check), Extra Energy Gel (I am gonna have way to much energy gel), Sandals (got it), Change of Cloths for post race ( check).
I am not sure if i am prepared enough but we will see. Wish us luck.
