1. Things will go wrong, but as long as you are mentally strong and quick to adapt, you’ll be just fine. Go ahead, roll with punches!

2. PRACTICE THE TRANSITION!!! T1 & T2 is just a part of the triathlon as the swim, cycle, and run; you can lose significant time here, so practice practice practice!

3. The timing chip will have a significant pull-back during your swim. I would recommend doing a couple of swimming practice with a watch or large bracelet tied around one of your ankles.

4. Don’t leave packing for the night before. Make the day and night before your triathlon as calm and relaxed as possible. The last couple of days prior to your triathlon you will naturally feel agitated, avoid putting yourself in situation of stress.

5. Practice the nutrition as you intend on doing it during the race. Every sip and gel consumed before, during, and after the race was preplanned and methodical. Not only is this the fuel that makes sure your body will cross that finish line, but done wrong, it could also be the thing that stops you!

6. Have fun and smile as you run across the finish line. You’ve worked hard and the photographer will be there to capture your victory!!
