Pre-Race/Transition Seminar

On Friday May 6th we had a seminar that discussed pre-race and transition checklists and went through the steps to take.

Here are the checklists.  Feel free to use this or modify it for your own use.  As I mentioned, over the years I have really cut back on things I bring with me to a race.  That doesn't mean you should limit yourself, I just found certain things unnecessary.  This is more than I bring to a race, but I've included some common items many people do use.  Also, I will call this list my "Olympic Distance or Shorter" list.  For distances further than that, my list will be different.
