OMG no!

LOL. I'm serious - write about it afterward, it's fun to have. Like pictures only better.

Don't drown during the swim, don't crash on the bike, don't die on the run. If you can accomplish this you win.

Also listen to classical music before the race if your going to listen to music. Don't carbo load at all, you won't be out there long enough to need it. Go left at the dismount line most people go right. Take a moment during the swim and realize you've started so you now you just have to finish.

hey, hey, hey, don't forget- Stan Yablonsky never cold cocked no woman.

change all your tires, put on a new chain, but make sure you don't ride your bike before the race... you wan't them brand new.

Drink and eat as much as you can the day before... all those extra calories will come in useful.

Put yourself on the front row of the swim. Cuz if you start in the lead, you'll likely finish there.

Buy a new pair of shoes, and a new pair of socks for race day. Experiment with new brands you haven't tried before.

no.

to the OP...dont overthink it...just go nuts, its a race man!!!...empty the tank & have fun doing it.

GOOD LUCK!

I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.''
- Muhammad Ali

Give yourself credit for the training you have done. Don't focus on the workouts you haven't done.

Ultimately, we go to the line with what we've got and we do our best.

Quite simply put: Do what you do.

Best of luck My Friend, I bet you'll have a fine race!

I've got a crazy analogy here, but just go with me for a second.

Let's look at motorsports. Say, F1 racing. There's a whole team of people that design and build an F1 car, and then there's the guy who gets to drive it on race day.

As a triathlete, which of those two roles do you see yourself fulfilling?
