When it comes to Ironman Triathlon, months and months of hard-slog dedicated training mean that you have pretty much worn out all your kit. That's what the Ironman expo is for. Every single retailer there is there solely to sell you something that will make you faster than you otherwise would. By logical extension, the more you buy, the faster you will go. Doesn't really matter what it is.
So, it only makes sense to treat yourself to only the best for your big day. Buy up big at the expo, replacing everything you want to use on race day so that you have only the best shiny new kit possible. Goggles, shoes, sunnies, bidon cages, bento boxes, anything at all, but most of all, anything to do with nutrition. Gels, goos, tablets, powerbars, a last minute change of diet to the best on offer is just like putting high octane premium petrol in your car. With everything previously unused and fresh out of the wrapper, this virtually guarantees to eliminate chance or fate ruining your race day from using old or worn kit.
You've done the hard yards, treat yourself to only the best to set your PB legacy.
