Getting ready for Benaroya Seafair Olympic Triathlon and Ocean Shores Sprint Triathlon

So the Ocean Shores Big Weekend is 16 days away.  The Benaroya Seafair Triathlon is 24 days away.

I am doing the Ocean Shores Sprint triathlon as a "Prep" race for the Seafair triathlon.  I want to be 100% on my game for Seafair.  I have the burn for a race right now since I got sick 2 days before the half-marathon.  I feel like I need to make up for that.

I am adding advocare supplements into my race.  That is another reason I am doing the Ocean Shores race...to see if the supplements really help, or if they cause any stomach issues.

This is my gear checklist for my upcoming tris..

-Tyr Competitor Triathlon shorts
-Decent C6 Sleeveless Tri-shirt
-Sunglasses
-Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 plus Goggles
-Nineteen Pipeline Sleeveless wetsuit

-Garmin forerunner 305

Extra:
