Actively focus on recovery today: 1) stay off of legs all you can, 2) watch nutrition closely (healthy carbs, lean protein, and good fats), 3) stretch, and 4) drink plenty of fluids. Other common recovery aids include massage, napping, elevating legs, floating in water, and listening to music. Get checked in - get your numbers on your bike, helmet, race belt, get your race bags set up - etc.

Precompetition day SWIM: 15 min. easy freestyle/back/breast mix, check out swim line you'll take on race day, check out sun position & landmarks to use for sighting. BIKE (if available) 15 min. easy spin, check gears. RUN: 15 min jog Zone 1. All sports to be completed by 12 noon. Keep off your feet as much as possible rest of the day, begin dinner no later than 6 PM. Taper off water & switch to mostly sport drinks in morning, no soda.

Swim: Try to think about keeping good form like you're in a pool. Little head movement, good body roll, long follow through, high elbow recovery, etc… Practice sighting too - pick a point and try to get to it sighting as little as possible. Walk: easy walk to loosen the legs and then some light stretching. Good luck!
