Race planning

It's here. The Mooseman Olympic distance is tomorrow. I'm using this race as a run through for the Patriot Half in two weeks. This means I'll be doing things a bit differently to the way I would normally race an Olympic, like wearing real bike shoes instead of tri shoes, bike gloves, eating solid food. My transitions may be a little longer, but I think the practice should be worth it. I've got plenty of other Olympic distances to really race on.

Here's the plan:

• 5am wake up, eat half a cup of oatmeal, drink a spark, braid hair
• 5:30 head to the course, register, rack, sunscreen, etc
• 7am warm up
• 7:30 first gu
• 7:46 start swim
• Transition to bike - sunnies, gloves, socks, shoes, helmet, bike, clif bar and additional gu in bento box, NUUN water bottle
• Eat half of clif bar after devil's hill
• Eat gu at turn for Cass Mill Rd
• Transition to run - runners, number belt, visor, one gu in pocket
• Eat gu on way out
• Drink water from aid station
• Finish race like a rockstar!

I'm still a little nervous about the nutrition, but this the time to test it out, work out any last minute kinks. Any suggestions?
