(Half) Ironman Poconos Pre-Race

I'm going to be racing in Ironman Pocono Mountains in two weeks, October 2nd, 2011.  I guess 'racing' isn't the right word.  I'm not an elite, so I won't be trying to reach the podium.  I'll be performing though: doing all of the 70.3 miles. 

I want to make sure things go smoothly, so I've been meaning to do a walkthrough of the race.  What better way, then, to solidify this walkthrough than by writing it down.

One of the things I'm trying to focus in on is energy.  Eating and drinking.  I know I need to eat and drink more than I typically have been for previous races.  Right now, my game plan is:
- Before the race: toast with jelly, lots of water, granola bars, apple, some gatorade, maybe some caffeine
- After the swim: 1 Odwalla bar and some swigs of gatorade
- During the bike: 4 water bottles with gatorade/water mix.  3 Odwalla bars spaced out evenly.  maybe 4
- After the bike: more swigs of gatorade, 1 more Odwalla bar.  maybe some Gu or other
- During the run: water and gatorade.  some Gu or another Odwalla bar.

Bike and Run transition check-ins are mandatory for the day before (this race is a two-transition race, T1 is about 8 miles away from T2).  So my bike transition will need to include:
- bike
- bike shoes
- helmet
- sunglasses
- extra gatorade
- bike shirt
- 4-5 Odwalla bars
- race belt
- pre-race food
- socks
- bike pump
- bike tools/accessories

And my run transition will need to include:
- sneakers
- Odwalla bar
- gatorade

I think that's about it.  It looks like transition will be close enough to the swim start that we'll be able to hang out in transition before the race begins.  Then we can mosey on over to the swim start.

Then, after the bike, we'll hit T2, and then be off for the run.  I'm still looking to see where aid stations will be on the bike course.  Looks like there will be 5 aid stations on the run, and since it's an up-and-back course, that means 10 chances for water/gatorade/etc.
