As I leave for the race tomorrow, I thought I’d give you my “race day check list” which is much much longer than a race day checklist for marathons and duathlons (well that’s a given, since you are now adding another discipline to the race). What type of fuel will be a different post (just when you were done with my useless posts).
- Confirmation of race registration (i have that printed out)
- photo ID (i have two drivers licenses now, so my nightmare of checking in during the NYC half won’t happen…Actually, the half was why I had to get another license in the first place.)
Transition area:
sunscreen, watch, heartrate monitor (maybe)
race belt/chip strap, towel, couple gels/ gel blocks, a couple bottles
bathmat (maybe, or just old towel to stand on)
SWIMÂ
