Race Day Checklist - Triathalon Edition

For those of you who know me IRL, you know I like a spreadsheet. I use them not only to track important information, like work stuffs and Christmas presents but also to help with anxiety. How does a spreadsheet keep anxiety at bay, you may ask. Well, if I have everything in order on race day, I won't be worried I've forgotten something. Race Day nerves are much less. This is where a spreadsheet comes in handy, in the form of a race day checklist.


I have one for half marathons that I've used multiple times and never fails me. Now, that I am dabbling in triathlons of course I need one tailored for triathlons.


And now that I am 4 days out form the Tarpon Tri, I need to start packing and planning.
With the help of my darling coaches and the internet this is what I have come up with:
  

Swim:	Goggles	Swim Cap
	Timing Chip	Towel
	Swim, Bike, Run shorts	Flip Flops
Bike:	Bike	Tire Pump (leave in car)
	Spare Tube,	CO2 (2), co2 tool
	Tire tool,	Helmet
	Sunglasses	Spare water bottle for bike
	Bike Shoes	Shirt
	GU (3)	Make sure bike is in the correct gear
	GPS
	Inflate Tires before going to transition area morning of race
Run:	Running Shoes	# Belt with # attached
	Water bottle	Running Hat
	GU (3)
Additional Items:	32oz. Gatorade	Lens Cleaner
	Powder	32oz. Water
	Change of Clothes	Comfy Sandals
	Food & Drink	Chairs from Kayaks

A few other tips I was given:
Things to do the day before:

Survey course and transition area


The Morning of
Survey the transition area, swim in, bike out, bike in and run out.
Do a quick bike mount where the bike mount area is.


If there is anything you can think of that I have left off, please let me know.


By the way, if you were wondering why I posted my list, because I lost the one I had for IronGirl and had to make this one from scratch.
