Race-day checklist

There are a ton of lists on the Internet that provide you with a race day checklist of items you should bring to a triathlon. Some of these lists are made for the elite (to include a written “victory speech”) and others are made for beginners so they don’t seem extremely overwhelmed by bringing a piece of luggage that could never fit in the overhead carry-on bin of an airplane. This checklist, however, is written for youth participating in youth triathlon races. For youth participating in adult races, the checklist will be different and will more closely resemble what an adult might bring.

As JRU Coaching discusses in our Race4Success program, there are certain items a youth NEEDS for a race and other items they may WANT. 

What are your favorite items to bring to a race that aren't mandatory but are something you couldn't do without on race day?
