I just love making lists

I mean, it is sort of embarrassing how much I love making lists:

Are these the things I needed to accomplish this evening?  Yes.
Are these the only two things I actually accomplished?  Yes.

So, in the spirit of making lists, my desire to procrastinate the things on the above list that I don't feel like doing, and my anxiety about this triathlon on Saturday, I've made a list of things I think I need to take on Saturday.

**Please tell me if any of this sounds like a bad idea**

What I Plan to Wear to Lake Mead:

-  swim suit 

-  sports bra (under swim suit - I like extra support)

-  warm-up type clothing for before and after the Tri (shorts, tshirt, jacket)

-  sandals

To Take for the Swim:

-  green swim cap (required that women's cap be green - provided?)

-  goggles (mirrored speedo vanquisher & purple swedish goggles)

To Take for Transition #1/Bike:

-  Update: BIKE (yes, I forgot to list a bike...)

-  Full water bottle 

-  Clif Shot energy gels

-  Energy jelly beans

-  Tri shorts

-  Cycling shirt/jersey

-  socks

-  Nike Lunarglide 4 running shoes

-  bike helmet

-  sunglasses

-  Garmin watch

-  towel

To Take for Transition #2/Run:

-  head band

-  running hat

Random Things to Take:

-  body glide

-  gatorade

-  headlamp (for setting up transition area)

-  spibelt

-  spare set of clothes

**I know this was long, but I needed to make this list in a place where I know I'll have it when I'm freaking out on Friday night**

Yesterday's Workout:

HP and I went for a 9-mile bike ride.  We decided that it was important that Saturday not be the first time in two years that I ride an actual bicycle.  Plus, I'm using HP's girlfriend's (she's my friend too - I'm just providing additional background info) bike and I needed to figure out how the gears worked.  The 9-mile ride took about 50 minutes.  I think that's pretty slow, but HP was nice and supportive.

I'm still laughing because I'm pretty sure HP would be annoyed that I gave him that nickname.

Yesterday's Food:

On an unrelated note, I made some grade A food choices.  

Raisin Bran & Diet Coke - breakfast of champions =)

One of my co-workers brought in some fresh, homemade salsa and there are no words to describe how happy this salsa made me today.  I really can't get enough chips & salsa (and/or guac).

This is random, I know, but it made me laugh.
I'm a total double-dipper.  I just try to hide it so people don't get grossed out.
Mythbusters said there is nothing wrong with double dipping.

Are you a list maker?

Is there anything I should be adding to my list of things to take to the triathlon?

Do you double dip?  Or, do you doubt Mythbusters rock-solid science that it isn't bad for you?
