Ever Get That Sinking Feeling You Forgot… Something?
Well, you aren’t alone. Okay, if you are that guy on the left, you probably ARE alone. At least we know he remembered his Heart Rate Monitor.

Endurance Nation Ultimate Pre-Race Checklist
Built over the last decade from the racing experience of our coaches and members, the Ultimate Pre-Race Checklist literally walks you through the last two days before your next Ironman® or triathlon.
More than nine pages of checklists are here for you to use — or customize!
Simply print out the document and walk through the checklists. You can even tape some of the pages to your Transition or Dry Clothes bag so you are totally in control.
Following these checklists will not only relieve you of a ton of unnecessary stress, it will also help to save valuable time. There’s nothing worse than finding out at the last minute that you don’t have a backup pair of goggles, or that you forgot your Body Glide, salt pills, etc.
You’ll even get insights on special guidance, such as:
- What to do when dropping off your transition bags / setting up your bike;
- How to use your Dry Clothes / Morning Clothes bag to pack up the swim equipment you’ll put on just before the race;
- Exactly what do to at 5am on Race Morning, in the dark, when you hit transition to make your final preparations.
We cover every step you’ll take over the final 48 hours to the Race!
