Day before race

Hmm.. i don't know what to talk about so i guess I'll talk about how my day was today (day before a triathlon).
So tomorrow is the UCLA Iron Bruin Triathlon, which is a sprint Tri. This will be the second triathlon i will have done. If you ever want to be a part of a Triathlon, you have to always make sure you go to packet pickup. NO BIB means NO RACE. So today 5 teammates and I went to UCLA to get our bibs. Whichever school hosts the race has make sure every participant gets a goodie bag, usually the goodie bags includes: your racing bib with number, a swim cap, cool water bottle, T-shirt with the triathlon name on it, a band with a chip that goes around your ankle so that you know what time you got, and little healthy snacks. It took us forever to find the place for pickup because the school is so big and confusing, but finally we found it. The UCLA Tri team were taking care of giving the goodie bags and informing us triathletes what to do and expect. After we got everything we needed, we went around the course so we could know what to expect for race day. Turns out it will be a nice swim in the pool, a bike ride with two KILLER hills:P, and a run that should be nice and flat. I usually eat pasta before a race to get a few carbs, but my mom had bought tacos de lengua and i couldn't resist so i ate that:P Hopefully that doesn't affect me haha. Once i finished eating, i took a shower and got all my things together so that in the morning i won't have to worry about forgetting something. I always make a check list just in case that happens. I have to wake up at 4:30am because my friend is going to pick me up at 5am. All i need to do is find my helmet and get my bike.I don't know where my helmet is so I'm kind of freaking out:P The worst thing that will happen is i won't be able to find it and I'll just have to use my moms helmet which is fine. I think your second triathlon is always easier and more exciting because you already know what to expect and know you can complete it. In my next post I'll explain how it went. Hopefully i don't die doing those hills!:P
