- Follow the plan.
- Don't go out too hard on the bike.
- Always wear socks on the run.
- Eat 2 hours before you race.
- Never skip a bottle exchange.
- Put lotion everywhere including face and other places otherwise you will be called spot.
- Bring extra clothes to the start - there may be delays.
From Quassy:
- It will be colder in the morning than you expect. Bring sweats
- Pack an extra towel for a practice swim.
- Don't expect to check into the hotel early
- Bring scissors to "customize" the bike race number
- Don't go to dinner with the crew the night before. It will last forever
- Lotion needs to be functional
- Bring yet another towel to dry off the bike from dew/rain
