I'm racing a 70.3 (half distance) soon. I'm working through a race day checklist of 49 items (gear, fuel, logistics, race morning) and have ticked 0. Still open: race number, pins or a race belt; timing chip, if it isn't in the number; race kit you have worn on a long session; running shoes you have trained in; socks you have trained in, and a spare pair; watch or bike computer, charged; wetsuit, if the water allows it; goggles, plus a spare pair; swim cap from the race; helmet; cycling shoes; bike serviced: tires, brakes and gears checked; spare tube, tire levers, and a pump or CO2; multi tool; bottles and cages; and 34 more. Check it against my race's rules, the course and the forecast, and tell me what's missing. Then build my race morning timeline, from the alarm to the start.

How it works
How the Race Day Checklist works.
Race morning is the wrong time to find out your goggles are at home. The checklist builds one list for your sport and distance, in four parts: the gear you race in, the fuel you take, the logistics around the start, and race morning itself.
It adds what your race needs and leaves out what it doesn't. A triathlon gets the wetsuit, the bike kit and the transition bags. A 100 mile trail race gets the headlamp, the drop bags and the crew plan. A 10K stays short, and HYROX gets your division and heat time.
The fuel section doesn't guess at numbers. How many carbs, how much fluid and how much sodium you need per hour come from the Race Fuel Planner, which works them out from your finish time with the research behind each one.
Tick items off as you pack. The ticks live in the page's address, so a bookmark keeps your progress, and Print gives you a clean sheet to pack from. Every item is generic: use the kit you have trained with.
Example
A worked example.
A triathlete packing for a 70.3.
- 1The list has 49 items: 22 for gear, 8 for fuel, 9 for logistics and 10 for race morning.
- 2Gear covers all three legs: a wetsuit, goggles and the race's swim cap; a helmet, cycling shoes and a flat kit; running shoes with elastic laces.
- 3Fuel starts with the race fuel plan from the Race Fuel Planner, then the gels and drink mix used in training, and special needs bags if the race has them.
- 4Logistics adds the bike check in and the transition bags. Race morning ends with the wetsuit on and a warm up the way they practiced.
Questions
Race Day Checklist: questions.
Swim: a wetsuit if the water allows it, goggles and a spare pair, the race's cap. Bike: a helmet, shoes, a serviced bike, a flat kit and bottles. Run: shoes you trained in, elastic laces, a race belt. Then your fuel, sunscreen and dry clothes for after.
Start with the race's mandatory kit list. Then a vest with soft flasks, a waterproof jacket and a blister kit, and for 100 km and longer a headlamp, drop bags and a crew plan.
A breakfast you have tested before long sessions, at the time you practiced. What you need during the race is a different number: the Race Fuel Planner works it out from your finish time.
Yes. Your ticks are in the page's address. Bookmark it or send the link to yourself, and it opens with the same items ticked.
Training shoes with grip, gloves if you train with them, your confirmation and ID, your division and heat time, and dry clothes for after. Check your event's own rules for anything else.
Not medical advice. These numbers come from published research on groups of athletes. Your own needs can differ; talk to a doctor or a sports dietitian about any health condition.
