I'm in the same situation with the first tri sort of thing - do you have everything else you need for it? like tights, jacket, shirt, bra, etc? I couldn't believe how little I have in terms of preparation for the event.

You can never have too many merino wool socks

Seriously... I'm going to take a picture of my sock chest.

It is literally possible to have too many pairs of merino wool socks.
