LOTOJA To Do List

This is a list of things to do during the days prior to the race:

• Get extra sleep. Go to bed early every night this week so I at least have sleep surplus going into Friday night. Rex seems to be the exception, but most of us don't sleep well the night before the ride (I have to take at least one sleeping pill) so at least you won't have a sleep debt on race day.
• Be well nourished. This is not the week to diet, that time has passed. Don't go crazy on dessert and sweets, but eat well this week, especially Friday.
• On Friday I hyperhydrate. I keep a water or gatorade bottle with me all day long and suck that teat like a newborn. Warning: Your bladder will send urgent signals for relief, so be well positioned (especially in the LOTOJA registration line).
• Plan my feed zone schedule. I posted my feed zone schedule as comment on Rex's excellent post.
• Tighten and lube my cleats. I hate listening to squeaky cleats for 10 hours.
• Wash gloves and helmet. Easy to forget, but will feel good on race day.
• Clean bike and lube chain. Don't make any serious changes to the bike, though.
• Change any bike computer batteries.
• Shave legs. You'll look and feel faster.
• Find a funny hat, shirt or flag for your support crew to wear/wave so you can find them easily at the feed zones.
• Check your support vehicle fluids, tire air pressure, etc.
• Confirm hotel reservation.
• Think positive! We've put in the miles, we will finish and finish strong.
