Your Triathlon Race Bag

Race Day is coming, make sure you are ready for it.

Here is what to pack in your triathlon bag:
  • swim goggles
  • wetsuit
  • triathlon clothes (you swim, bike and run with them you do not change)
  • body glide
  • helmet that fits and fairly new, you will be disqualified if you don't have one
  • bicycle shoes
  • running shoes
  • little towel to clean your feet
  • socks or no socks your choice
  • gloves not necessary but wear them if you have to wear them
  • sunglasses
  • sunscreen
  • 2 water bottle plastic only glass is NOT allowed in transition
  • gels or energy food drink you are used to
  • body powder for your feet if needed
  • duct tape just in case
  • racing belt for your number optional
  • speed laces for your running shoes optional
Of course don't forget your bicycle and make sure it has been serviced and check before race day.

The swim cap and the timing chip will be provided by the race organization at registration together with your race numbers, one for the run, one for your bike.

Enjoy your day and pack the week before at least to make sure you have everything. Never pack on race morning!

Make sure your bike works properly and that your tires are in good shape.

You will have a blast!

That was me, your Race Director, at Ironman Florida 2010 in the transition area, I was ready to go! ;-)
