What should I confirm with the organizer?
Check-in identification, bike drop, start procedure, cutoffs and the available supplies. Download the current guide; the previous edition may describe a different course or timetable.
What should I inspect on the bike?
Use your normal maintenance routine, check tires and brakes, and confirm that bottles and repair supplies are secure. Resolve unfamiliar mechanical work before race morning.
What goes on the final list?
Timing chip, required numbers, swim kit, helmet, shoes, practiced fuel and transport details. Keep the sequence short enough to follow when you are tired.
