General
- Headlamp - It's gonna be dark
- Tri Top, shorts, and flip flops. I'll be wearing these to the race, but I have to remember to pack them before I leave for Oside!
- Garmin Forerunner 920xt
- Heart Rate Monitor (I Forgot this at my last 70.3 and wanted to cry)
- Garmin Vivosmart HR (yes, I want to bring both Garmins - they serve different purposes outside of the nasty tans I'll get)
- Chamois butter? I don't use this but it seems like everyone else does.
Transition Area
- Bike Pump - they're asking us to drop off our bikes the day before
- Towel to lay on ground
Nutrition for Swim:
- I usually pack a coconut water to drink before my race. I sip this and do most of my hydrating the night before.
- Some sort of fruit - I'll eat this as I walk in to drop off my stuff. Usually an Apple or a nectarine.
- Peanut Butter and Jelly - this is breakfast at 3am.
- Nuun Tabs. These things are magic in my water.
Swim
- Sunblock
- Wetsuit
- Tri-Glide
- Goggles
- Swim Cap from Ironman
- Towel
- Chapstick - I swear by Carmex
- Water Bottle to clean off feet
T1
- I eat a Clif Bar and down a salt tab before I leave.
- I will drink water because swimming makes me thirsty. If I have enough coconut water from before I'll usually sip some of this because it hydrates me more than water does.
