Packing for my race this weekend

[joenali]

I decided to sign up for this 70.3 months ago thinking it's ok if It's right after school gets out, it won't be too bad. Well of course I have a million and one things to do and I need to pack the night before I leave on Friday. It's such a pain in the ass because we have to take a very long ferry ride to our destination and I won't have much time between school getting out and leaving. Help me think this out, let me know if I'm missing something:

Swim:
Wetsuit
Two pairs of goggles
Anti chafe cream
Small towel

Bike:
Bike (duhhhh!)
Helmet
Two pairs of gloves, one full coverage, one half fingered ( might be cold)
Arm warmers
Water bottles (3)
Pump
Bike shoes
Socks

Run:
Visor
Sunglasses
Race belt
Running shoes

Overall:
Carbo pro mix
Electrolyte drink mix
Endurox recovery drink
Race kit
HRM and watch
Honey stinger waffles
Clothes for after race
Clothes for next day(or just wear what I came in)
Pj's
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Undies
Bra
Sports bra
Flip flops
Sunscreen
Aleve
Kindle

Grocery shopping when we get there.


I feel like I'm forgetting something???

I like flip flops to wear down to the water. I usually give them to Calvin right before I go in.

Wine? For after the race, of course....

I always pack healthy snacks so almonds, apples, oranges, bananas would be included. Do you read or something to wind down before bed or if you can't sleep?

I love that you are so nonchalant about a 70.3 - youre an iron maniac.

The only thing I can't think of is your flat repair kit, but you probably keep that on your bike? I train & race w/ a different setup so it's always on my list.

Otherwise, I always bring tape, a transition mat (is that your small towel in swim?), chamois butter, multi tool, & baby wipes.

Well it's not my 'A' race, it's a training race to figure out what's working and what's not. If it was my 'A' race I would be stressed.i still want to do good though, I'm excited to see what I've been building up since the end of January!!
