Thanks!

I was afraid that I'd look like a geek with two belts during the run, because everything else we triathletes wear looks so cool.

I did my last IM with both. I even tried a run with both to see how it would work with both and if number would get tangled up in Fuel Belt but it didn't.

Fuel Belt came up with this cool accessory, race number attachment, that some Pro wanted that allows you to attach your race number to fuel belt.

I was going to use Fuel Belt with number attachment things for my last HIM, but realized if put the part of the Fuel Belt that open and closes in front, I couldn't attach both sides of the race number before the race as I couldn't get it on. I think for next race I'd try a couple runs with Fuel Belt on backwards so velcro in back and see how it works and then use race number attachment.

Also, it would mean that I would wear my fuel belt backward during the bike. I am not sure that I want to do that!

Thats exactly what it would mean. I have done that in every race. Put it on backwards on the bike, slide it around forwards for the run. Keep your mounted gels to the sides of the belt so that they are NOT sticking into your stomach on the bike. Good luck!

You get two race numbers for Ironman 70.3 or IM races. I just change them...use race number for bike in back, switch to Fuel Belt with other number for run.

Yah I wouldn't use Fuel Belt on the bike.

You wear a hydration fuel belt on the bike, or a gel holding fuel belt on the bike?

I beleive OP wants to have his hydration belt on the run, but needs to have his bib number on the bike.
