Here's what I think I need. What have I forgotten?
Wearing: Oh so cute tri outfit (it makes me look like a sausage... )and heart rate monitor.
Swim: Cap, goggles, wetsuit
T1: Bike with second HRM on it, helmet, gloves, shoes, socks, sunglasses, water bottles, food
2 towels, water bottle for cleaning feet
T2: Running shoes, visor, food, water bottle
Change of clothes for after.
It sounded like so much more in my head.

Pair of sandals for after? I h8 wearing sneakers for more than I absolutely have too.
I usually bring a spare pair of goggles, someone always forgets and it's nice to spread the love.
Don't forget suntan lotion!

I was told to bring two pairs of goggles just for me with one pair being shaded and the other pair being clear. Just in case.
Oh, and Body Glide

I have not done my first race yet, but I have heard baby powder on the feet after the swim makes it easier to get socks/shoes on.

Tomorrow I'm doing a tri for fun. It's a 400 yard swim, 12 mile bike, 3 mile run. I probably don't "need" to eat but I plan to anyway to see how it goes.
The whole point of tomorrow's race and a Tri for Real (Olympic distance) I'm doing in July is to work through the transitions. Doing them in my garage or out of the back of my car, isn't quite the same as doing them for real I suspect. It's all about getting me ready for a HIM Aug. 2.

For a short race, looks good.
For your HIM... put a bottle of spray sunblock in the transitions. Spray it on in T1 and T2.
Good luck!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Here are a few links to some race day checklists. I always print one out and check things off so I don't forget anything.

I second the spray sunblock and bodyglide. And would add race belt and I believe you have a strap for your timing chip too. So bring those.
