Obviously, my training is over. I'm resting and drinking water and stretching. What else can I do to be totally prepared for it mentally, physically, and emotionally?

IF YOU ACTUALLY TRAINED, SHOULDN'T YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO KNOW?

I like to warm up the day before, some people do nothing. I like to go through my normal warm up routine including a few strides.
Eat complex carbohydrates, but do not stuff yourself. I try to stay with something light that I know will not be on my stomach and I will not be belching in the morning. Visualize the race, think about having a good swim, fast transition, easy bike, and run. You have done the necessary training so picture yourself setting a pr. |

drink alot of soda and dont drink any water. water is bad for you when cycling. make sure you have at least 5 soda drinks.

Try a 1/2 hour cruise on you bike. No efforts just a medium slow ride. It'll help keep you loose and focused. Pro cyclists always ride on days off even in long multi-stage races.

Pasta Dinner night before. Good rest. Keep up on the water as your currently doing.
The Morning of: stretch for 15 min prior. Meditate for 10 min prior. Visualize yourself in the entire race. At finish: Remember your a winner, just for finishing the race - you don't have to be in first place. Enjoy the whole experience, it will be fond memories |

if winning is your goal, picture yourself winning. visulize every part of the race ahead.
If your goal is to finish, picture that if you believe any of this you arent ready, but good luck anyway. in fact, kick butt and have fun. |
