The Night Before the Day Before

Days left till NYC Triathlon: 2

Activity: Picking up Race Packet

The day is almost upon us. I walked from work to the Hilton on 6th Avenue this evening to pick up my race packet for Sunday. Before you pick up your packet you have to go through a briefing that gives you the do's and dont's Of race day. The packet contains race numbers, tritats - these are tatoos of your race number that goes on both your arms and your hand, your computer chip that will track your time and other goodies from the sponsors. The most generous sponsor was zico who gave a liter of coconut water. You also get a tag that they put on your hand; this tag will remain on your hand till you pick up your bike from transition after the triathlon is over. This year because of the Boston marathon bombings we can only take all our transition gear in a plastic bag - no bags allowed, security is going to be tight on Sunday. Tomorrow I take my bike to transition and I have to pack my transition stuff in the clear bag. Tonight I need to get a good nights sleep!
