After completing two triathlons this season, one big recommendation I would make any triathlete, is to make a check list of all the equipment/clothing/food that you desire to bring with you on race day. This list is important not only so you don't forget anything, but also that you don't leave anything behind after the race is over.

True words.  I'm a world class list maker, for tri's and in life. Too much activity always going on in the brain, and stuff tends to fall out.

I've considered making a list. Currently, when I'm packing, I just go through the day in my head:

Get dressed: need short, bra, socks, hr strap, watch, sandles, sweater

Set up transition: towel, water bottle, bike pump

Swim: wet suit, goggles, swim cap

Bike: bike, shoes, helmet, sunglasses, gloves, camelbak

Run: shoes, hat, race belt

But I'm thinking of typing up a list to use each time I'm packing.

Thanks for the idea!

Trust me make a list so you don't forget your bike shoes, trust me it's not fun to find out 30 minutes before the gun goes off.

I left my race belt at my last race. If I had a list, this could have been avoided.

This actually happened to a friend of mine during a recent race!
