- Slip on shoes to wear to the race (before and after)
- Race outfit, comfort, quick-drying, little drag (tri-club t-shirt on top of it)
- Goggles
- Swim Cap is normally provided, but I always bring a couple of extras
- Something to mark transition rack (I use a swim cap), bright towel, balloon, chalk, etc.
- Towel for transition items
- Bike
- Water bottle for bike with your drink choice
- Bike shoes if you wear them
- Helmet
- Gels taped to bike if doing an Olympic distance race or longer, not necessary for a sprint
- Sunglasses
- Cap/Visor
- Race belt with number attached or pinned to a shirt
- Running Shoes
- Post-race clothes, possibly shower stuff
General Tips . . .
- Don’t take a nap during transition . . . you’re still racing here too
- Learn to run without socks during a sprint/Olympic race
- Be quick, but don’t rush, be deliberate
- Orient yourself from both the swim entrance & bike entrance
- Don’t camp out . . . take up as little space as possible
- Talk to surrounding triathletes, ask questions, you will learn a lot
