Doing my first (Buffalo Springs) on Sunday. Any last minute tips?
Sunscreen? I plan to slather in T1
Hydration? I have 3 bottles of Gatoaide for bike
Food? I was going to tape some Cliff bars or Honey Stingers to my bike

Any tips / advice / comments? Thanks!

Don't change anything right now and don't suck. Remember the 40% rule, if you think you have no more remember you have 60% left.

Plan your finish.

I did not plan anything for my ironman and just stumbled by my wife with anawkward finishing photo.

I was in no condition to think on the fly about posing for pictures , kissing wife, etc.

Put sunscreen on your lower back. I've had a couple bad sunburns from the jersey riding up in the bike
