S*%t Show

a.k.a- Ironman Packing. If you were anywhere around San Diego this past weekend you might have seen a glimpse of my FLYING by. I didn't have much time to sit in any one place for too long. Last quality training sessions to put in, packing to do, and a lot of errands to run. It's my mom's bday tomorrow - girl had to shop! As I flew in and out of my favorite bike shop Nytro (yes, ok, maybe I did forget something every time I went and had to go back 5 times in one day) I was referred to by a loved one as  "s*%t show." What can I say, I had to get it all done, pack everything and get my butt back to LaLa land for the work week.
I do have a go to packing list to help race packing go a bit smoother. Unfortunately an Ironman takes a little more attention to detail, and my 1 hour throw it all together, ready-set-go, doesn't work as well. Here is my packing list of everything and anything I need/want. Try making your own and I promise it will eliminate a tiny bit of your packing headache. It also eases your mind knowing you have everything.
Thanks to TYR and Scicon I have the best luggage and bike bag to help with the process.
