* one blue swimming cap to signify that I am in the 1 km "back of the pack" blue wave. That is, I'm with the slowies, but not the super slowest (it's the third of the five back of the pack waves)
* one timing chip and one ankle strap so they can tell when I've actually finished
* one brochure to show the course and other useful info for the day
Pity they didn't include a sick bag with the pack, considering I started feeling a bit squeamish again, similar to when I actually registered for the event and I lost my lunch. But having said that, and I never thought I would say this EVER, I'm also feeling a little bit excited about race day in spite of the mind-numbing OMG fear. I'm slowly, slowly getting to the stage where I think I can do this - I won't be fast, it won't be smooth, I'll probably still cry (that's more like definitely cry), I'll still be scared, BUT I know I can get to the finish.
I just hope I'm not so slow that the 2 km swimmers catch up to me!
