Subject: RE: Battle of Waterloo 10 leg event I am considering two ways. The first being using two ammo mag pouches that attatch to a belt. Placing each shoe in a zip-lock baggie and then in the pouch. The belt would be easy to carry and you coudl place your swim gear in there on the run/ride. The next is a small camelback, like a kids size one. Again a zip-lock baggie and stuffed into this. This might work better for people with smaller feet. My shoes are a 13 and I am not sure they will fit. I do have the small Camelback, I bought for my daughter for $9 ( http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_215599_-1_21500_10000_21502)off Nashbar.com. One of the waist mounted bag may work better. I asked the question and I believe it was Eva that sent me a e-mail suggestioning the pull bag. She did point out swimming with your shoes on was not the best option. I think the pull behind bag would pull down to one side if it did not float. If it does float and you hold it close to your body, would that be considered a "swimming aid"...uhm. I printed the map of the area and blew it up to "D" size on the plotter at work. It's a kick route and should be real cool. Since the maps on the EST site are one leg at a time I laid it on the floor and used color markers for the different legs. Most of the race is on the eastern part of the course. Let us know what you try, maybe we can hit Holly or Big Fish and have some practice runs. Joe Edited by Puppetmaster 2009-05-12 9:28 AM
