T minus 12 hours

The gear is all set out.

Swim cap
Goggles (with backup pair)
Tri shorts
Rash guard
Heart rate monitor*
Garmin Forerunner 305 (battery charged)*

*305 goes under the swim cap, HRM goes under the shirt, all of this before the start. This should mean a quicker T1, plus GPS and timing data for the whole race, plus heart rate going into the water and coming out, which should give a good idea how nervous I am to begin, and how much effort goes into the swim. This race is untimed by the organizers (they put up a finish clock and that is it) so with a 305 on the whole time you can use the satellite image to pick out the swim/bike/run times and the transition times.

Squirt bottle of water for washing the sand off my feet.
Towels
Number belt
Felt Z35 bicycle.
--All bolts checked. Saddle adjuster loctited.
--Spares kit checked.
--Quick connect mount for the 305. Cadence/speed sensors permanently on bike.
--Will pump the tires at the park.

Full 28 oz. bottle w/ gatorade on bike
Shorty socks, pre-rolled just a bit
Clipless shoes

Running shoes w/ Garmin footpod
A spare pair of shorty socks if needed for the run.
Quick connect wrist strap for 305

Still need to make an errand run and get a few easy to digest pre-race snacks. Will probably get up about 2.5 hours before race start (7:15 ish), so that gives my stomach an hour to wake up, some time to eat, and an hour to digest. For a long time the swim was my biggest worry, but now it is a toss up between over sleeping and feeling nauseous just because I am so not a morning person.

It's a quiet Friday night in, hanging with the dog and staying hydrated and hoping I'm able to get to bed at a decent hour. 4:30 am is going to come pretty early.
