Attn Racers

Hey all you racer girls! My first-ever race is going to be on May 6, and I was hoping for some help.

I'm wondering what I need to take with me to the race. What do you find absolutely essential before, during and after the race? Is there anything you originally thought you would need, but have discoved you never use?

I like to be prepared well in advance, and have already started freaking out that I won't have all my bases covered when I get to the race.

Thanks for your help!

This is the race day check list that my team uses. I use it to pack my bag the night before. Sure some things seem like no brainers, but I have heard stories of people getting to a race and realizing that they've forgotten something important - pedals, helmet....

Thanks so much, Eden!
I'm sure it'll be me who forgets her helmet or something! I tend to be such an airhead when I'm nervous!
