FIRST TRI, NEED ADVICE...

Kind of like bellinghamspence said, chugging the gatorade may not be a great idea, especially at T1. I know that I'm not usually up to chugging much of anything when I get out of the water, cause I've usually swallowed a fair amount of water during the swim, and drinking much more right off makes me feel kind of sick starting out on the bike. I would think that would be evern worse with ocean water. There is also the time lost drinking in T1 versus drinking it gradually while on the bike.

Given that it's a sprint, you shouldn't need a lot of calories, so what you describe sounds like plenty. I would even suggest ditching the hammer gel if you're already downing gatorade high endurance, and especially so if you've never used gel before. Just try to stay steadily hydrated.

As far as sleep goes, conventional wisdom would say that the night before doesn't matter so much (none of us sleep well the night before a race), it's the nights before that that really matter. So try to get a good night's sleep last night.

Good luck and have a ton of fun!

Very true what has been said.  Sleep 2 nights before your race is more important than the night before.  Its also very important to drink plenty of water in the days before so that you are starting out hydrated on race day.  And don't break the golden rule... if you think you might do it during the race, make sure try it out in advance.  Above all, have a great time and let us know how it goes!
