#2458 , why am I getting nervous/exited ?
..because you can't wait to show Madison how awesome you're going to be on race day.
I highly recommend putting together a packing list and to-do list as soon as possible and adding to it as you think of new things. Asking veterans about what they do/bring will also help to calm your nerves to make sure you don't forget anything.
You really only need to bring your bike, helmet, and swimsuit (the prudes outside of Madison don't appriciate nudity as much as some ). Your chip and bib number will be provided. If you can get to the start line with those five things ready to go, the rest just falls in the 'Nice to Have' category...just keep telling yourself that. You can race without all the other things (jersey, shorts, shoes, sunglasses, visor, nutrition, etc. ), and you can make due if everything isn't perfect. |
