Whats in your meet bag?

[Deleted member 17723]

Hey guys, I was wondering what is in YOUR meet bag! I have a meet this weekend Although I have a fractured finger and a sprained ankle and a sprained ligament in my foot, I'm still going strong.
Heres what is in my gym bag for comps:

• Healthy snacks (granola bar, dried fruit, etc,)
• Empty water bottle (to fill up if needed!)
• 2 or 3 full waters
• a set of clothes in case a trip to the E.R. or something is needed
• Calculator (For scores)
• Hand sanitizer
• Tape/pre wrap (although our gym provides it as well)
• 2 pairs of palm guards
• 2 pairs of pre-broken in dowel grips
• 3 or 4 pairs of wristbands
• Contact solution/case/contacts/glasses
• Nail polish remover
• Black spandex
• Practice leo (in my teams colors, though not a team leo)
• Hairspray, hair ties, bobby pins, headbands, bun nets, bun maker, and scrunchie
• A medal from the gym my old coach is now at, for good luck from her!
• Over the counter meds (advil, aleeve, tylonel, etc.)
• I also keep my goals in there
• I have a chart of quotes that I leave for some inspiration

I guess I have a lot of stuff
What is in yours?

 

[Turk]

• tape, pre-wrap & scissors
• chalk
• water
• Link Removed & a hoodie (the gym I've just left didn't have proper warmups so I picked the warmest option)
• grips & sweatbands
• shorts
• snacks (always blood-sugar-spiking, I have a minor health issue so my grip bag contains secret stash of sweets!)
• vault shoes
• white socks, several pairs
  
• toothbrush & toothpaste
• mirror
• hairspray
• spare CD of floor music
• phone (with music) & earphones
  
• ipod arm sleeve
  
• gloves
• Link Removed

I used to take my heel cups but I haven't done a lot of beam lately so I risked going without this time. I may start taking them again though, since I'm upgrading and these old dancer ankles just divert all the strain upwards to avoid dealing with it and my shins hurt too much!

Hmm since I'm an adult that still competes but also coach I find most of the things I keep in my bag are not for me. I keep extra socks, extra tape and prewrap, bandaids, hair ties, gel, brush, my own shoes and ankle braces, some water, maybe a snack, ib profin, usually some $ for food if the meet runs long, and my phone on silcent of course. Thats really about it.

I'm actually in the process of putting together a "Meet Survival Kit" for one of my new teammates for our Christmas exchange. I bought her:
a roll of athletic tape
nail polish remover
a small packet of tissues
nail clippers and emery boards

and I'm making her a little notebook to record all of her scores.

I'm also giving her a drawstring bag from a meet I attended in the past to keep it in. I hope she likes it.
