My husband and I will travel down to San Diego on Saturday which should be a nice evening out for us. Since I am just a few days away, I have begun packing for the race.
On top of the triathlon checklist I downloaded, is a spot to write down 3 goals for the race. After a bit of thought, here are mine:
On top of the triathlon checklist I downloaded, is a spot to write down 3 goals for the race. After a bit of thought, here are mine:
- Get out of the water under, or as close as possible to 10 minutes
- Make sure I pee before the race to eliminate transition stops :) ( made that mistake during my first triathlon)
- Finish in the MOP ( middle of the pack)
Here are a few photos of my race preparation.
All my items collected on the bed.
SWIM
wetsuit, 2 pairs of goggles, chapstick, assigned swim cap, towel, and alcohol for post race ears -I will add a warm bottle of water to wash my feet off on the morning of the race
BIKE
jacket, helmet, water bottle, gatorade to mix into water bottle, fig newtons ( I don't like gels)
RUN
shoes and socks will be on for the bike section and my race shirt, shorts will be worn during the whole race. I just add my cap and run.
I am hoping to do well in this race. I have one scheduled almost every month this summer and hope to move up to the Olympic distance in December. After this race and The Tour of Long Beach ( 30 mile bike ride) that I am completing next week, I will be increasing my training time in order to improve my race performances throughout the year.
