Last Minute Things To Remember Before Tri For The Cure!

In the last week before the The For The Cure Denver, remember to be ramping down your training, getting some good rest, and eating very well! In addition, keep your mind clear and focused by preparing for the race now so you're not scrambling at the last minute to get supplies and information. Here's a quick checklist of things you need for your race. You can pickup some of these items at the pre-race Expo on August 6th: http://triforthecure-denver.com/expo_packet_pickup Transition Area Checklist: -Two towels (large and small) -Water bottles -Food (bars and/or gel) -Swim goggles -Swim cap (you must wear the cap issued in your race packet) -Timing chip and band -Race belt and bib (or use safety pins) -Watch or heart rate monitor -Bike -Shoes (both biking and running if using two pair) -Socks -Helmet -Glasses -Floor pump -Seat pack (tube, patches, tire levers, multi tool, co2) -Running hat In the transition area, it's not uncommon for athletes to lose track of their spot among 3,000 bikes‚ especially when you are focused solely on your race. Try bringing a bright balloon or other colorful object with a unique design and tie it on the bike rack designating your space. You'll be less likely to get lost in the craziness of the transition area! The transition area opens at 5:00 am. If you arrive before 5:00 am, you will not be able to access the transition area. However, we suggest you arrive two hours before your scheduled start time. Start times will be assigned the week before the event. All athletes MUST be set up in the transition area by the time the first wave begins at 7:00am. After 7am, roads close and access to the transition area will not be possible. The good news is that you can set up in the transition area, then come and go as you please. Spectators may arrive at any time, however, the access road to the transition area is not open after 7:00am. Make sure that you're well prepared before race day and good luck! You can still register online through Wednesday, August 3rd - visit http://www.triforthecure-denver.com to sign up!
