Week before race:
Pick up your race packet to avoid lines on race day
Begin to "taper" off your workouts so you're rested on rest day
Night before race:
Inflate your bike tires to desired psi
Lay out your triathlon clothing and equipment and pack up what you can
Eat a nutritious meal (pasta is nice, but get some protein in there)
Get a good night of sleep; don't go to bed too early though
Race Day:
Wake up early enough
Eat a healthy breakfast
Use the bathroom
Head out for the race site; don't forget your bike!
At the race site:
Unload your gear and locate the transition area
Find a place for your bike and setup your gear
Use the bathroom again
Take your bike out for a short 5-10 minute ride
Go for a little jog
Use the bathroom again (Notice a pattern?)
Grab your goggles, swim cap and wetsuit and head down to the beach for a warm up swim
Enjoy the race!
