Race-day tips
- Lay everything out the night before and photograph your transition set-up — it's the quickest way to spot a missing item.
- Nothing new on race day. Only pack kit, shoes, and nutrition you've already tested in training.
- Set your helmet upside down with the straps open on top of your bike shoes so you never forget to fasten it.
- Check the water temperature and race rules the week before — wetsuit legality and cap colours can change your swim kit.
- Pack a small zip-lock bag for your phone, keys and ID so they stay dry in your transition bag.
