How to Mentally Prepare for the Tri For The Cure

With race day approaching, your main priority is to be mentally prepared. Hopefully by now you're pretty well trained physically. The next week should be about mentally refreshing yourself and knowing what you need to know come race day to avoid any confusion or nervousness. We do everything we can to support our racers, and we have resources available on race day. We provide a group of Swim Buddies to help you along the open swim portion if necessary. They will have swim noodles that you may rest on, but you may not use the flotation device to propel yourself forward in the water. Swim Buddies will swim the distance with you, but cannot physically assist you in any way. The Swim Buddy tent is located at the swim start, so please alert a Swim Buddy if you require assistance. Also, medical personnel are stationed throughout the race course and the park for your safety. Our medical tent is located on the south side of the post-race area, near the finish line. Emergency Medical Technicians and vehicles are located in key areas for each event. Every measure is taken to ensure the safety of all athletes. The red Medical Tent is fully staffed with medical professionals for both participants and spectator needs. Please be aware that during the bike portion of the race you must know how to properly change a tire - so be sure to bring a patch kit. If you get a flat tire during the race, it's up to you to repair it to finish the race. Now is a great time to get a bike tune-up to make sure that everything is in working order!
