Triathlon Race Preparation & Pre-Race Checklist
It’s a good idea to pack your race bag a few days before the race to make sure you have everything you need and if you need to replace or buy something you have plenty of time for it. You do not want to be running around like crazy the day before your race when you need to be concentrating on rest, hydration and reviewing your race plan.
Here’s a suggested Triathlon Pre-Race Checklist. Put it next to your triathlon bag and check off the items one by one as you pack them. You can customize the list to add anything specific that you use or remove those items you do not use. In transition there’s not a lot of space usually, so bring only the items you need, including the extra pair of goggles and everything you will use to race, but avoid any unnecessary extras you do not want to carry around, specially after the race when you are tired and ready to go take a hot shower and have a good meal.
Follow the list, make sure everything is working, in good shape and ready to be used. Go replace anything old, broken or that might cause any issues on race day.
And remember the #1 rule of racing “DO NOT TRY ANYTHING NEW ON RACE DAY”. And anything means ANYTHING!
