Swim:
swim cap
goggles
ear plugs
wetsuit

Bike:
helmet
sunglasses
socks
bike shoes

Run:
sneakers
hairband/visor

Extras:
race belt
water bottle
cliff blocks
towel
garmin
extra contact lenses
extra hair elastics

I will be wearing my tri top and shorts.

I think packing will take longer than the event.

sunscreen
body glide

a pair of flip flops that you may not get back to wear before the swim
bodyglide for the back of you neck of your wetsuit and anywhere else you might need.

repair kit for your bike (tubes, pump, tire levers) - assuming this is not already on your bike.

Have the body glide but it wasn't on my list! Repair kit is on my bike. Need to get some cheap flip flops and never even thought about sunscreen.

Post race clothing. You don't want to sit around in damp tri shorts. Get them off as soon as possible after the race.

not sure if you are a chap stick user or not but if you are I'd sure want that as well. Kleenex?

I second kleenex. I always need to blow my nose after a swim!

thus this is why for a longer race, throw in a pair of bike gloves....just sayin'.

This is why my bike gloves have that little terry towel patch - perfect for wiping my nose!

They'll likely give you a specific-coloured swim cap to wear.

On your Bike checklist, don't forget your BIKE! :lol:

I'd go visor over headband for the run. Then you'll look more pro, just like CinC!

agree with the visor (and not to look more pro like, but you're cute La!) - and if it's hot, then cap (to be able to fill with ice!)

It's on the shore at PEI. It won't be hot. I'll be lucky if I can wear shorts without freezing at that hour of the day.
