Do, or do not
There is no try
Okay, we are t minus 21 hours from the start of my first Olympic distance triathlon. That is 1500meters swim, 40km bike, and 10k run. It's being held at Lake Geneva, WI; which is about an hour from my house.
So this morning I'm taking the day off from work, and am getting all my gear together for the race.
Checklist:
Polar HRM
Bike
Helmet
Sunglasses
Tri-shorts
Tri-singlet
Wrightsocks ( lucky race pair )
Running shoes
Bike shoes
Goggles
Wetsuit
Floor pump
Spare tube
CO2 quick inflator
Tire levers
Allen wrenches
2 water bottles
Case of bottled water
Accelerade
Endurox R4
Gu
Clif Bars
Towels for transition
Advil, vitamin supplements, icy hot
Change of clothes for post-race
I don't think I'm forgetting anything, but I'm paranoid. :)
Race will be done ( if all goes well ) by about 9:30 AM. It's a 6:30 AM start, and I hope to finish in about 3 hours ( or less! ).
Time to pack up the car and head out!

I realize you're already gone, but here's a good luck post anyway! I'll be thinking about you and crossing my fingers for a sub-3:00 time!
