It is the night before race day. Tomorrow is Stone Bridge Ranch Triathlon. For me this is the worst time. Getting the gear together, going through my list to make sure I have everything. Bike shoes, Run Shoes, gels, towel; it all goes in the bag. Tomorrow I will eat and get my bike in the car and drive to the race. Being later in the year it is a later start. My wave is at 9:10 am. Some mid summer sprint races I finnish by 9:00 am.
I get nervous about making sure I have everything. I have already put the wet suit in the car and have my bag packed, but I can never get rid of the feeling that I missed something. Oh well it is off the bed.
When packing for college, I'd made a checklist in excel of everything I would need. ...This came from 3 semesters of packing everything up. By the time I started my 2nd year of undergrad, I had it down to a science, complete with labeled milk crates designated for specific functions.
ReplyDeleteWhile not a triathlon, the basis is to your benefit. Pack the bag as if it should be ready to go at a moment's notice, and you should be set.
