But, one comment: I see you put some so called NSAID's (painkillers) in your list like ibuprofen. There is more and more evidence in sport medical literature that the use of these so called NSAIDS (non-steroid anti inflammatoire drugs; used to lower fever and treat pain) are damgerous, specially in excercise comined with hyponatriemia. It's bad for the kidney's and is associated with acute heart failure in young athletes. <BR/>So i hope you take them with you, but don't use them during the IM....;-)<BR/><BR/>Best wishes preparing,<BR/><BR/>Eric<BR/>Joining IM Florida 2007 from the NetherlandsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084498189763452460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11232148.post-84326535069204820032007-10-25T13:38:00.000-04:002007-10-25T13:38:00.000-04:00I'd also say don't be afraid to pack along a lot o...I'd also say don't be afraid to pack along a lot of FOOD on the bike as long as you know you're accustomed to it and it won't make you sick!

I haven't needed it, but I have only done an Olympic.<BR/><BR/>I have heard others talk about using Pam cooking spray in their wet suit. Can't remember if that was to help in getting on or off. I haven't needed it (yet!).<BR/><BR/>Lastly, I LOVE my doo rag for wearing under my helmet. It has helped tremendously in keeping some of the sweat out of my eyes.<BR/><BR/>You are going to do great!!
