My Triathlon Packing List

This morning, I ignored all heat advisories (oops) and hopped on my bike for one last little workout before the tri.

I rode for a half hour, covering 6.5 miles. I came back, picked up Bailey (oops again, too hot for furballs to run) and jogged .65 mile down to the groomer with him. It’s wayy too hot for him, so I stopped and carried his hot little body a few blocks because I felt bad.

I didn’t really want to work out in the heat this morning, but I wanted to feel confident that I was ready for whatever weather is thrown at me tomorrow.

I also wanted to make sure that my outfit was comfortable. It’s tight but comfortable. (And they said it’d loosen up in the water a bit.)

I did some sweaty laundry, and now I’m preparing my race bag for tomorrow.

    Good luck tomorrow! And thanks for the shout-out! Fingers crossed we beat the heat! 🙂

    Also this may be obvious and I’m sure you won’t forget – but coconut water, water bottles, gatorade, sunscreen! I’m planning on buying a small iced coffee tonight and sticking it my fridge to help w/ the 4:15ish wake-up call.
