Subject: Race bib during duathlon?

This weekend will be my first multi sport race.  I've run a ton of road races and I've always pinned my number on my singlet.  What about during a duathlon?  I had my packet pickup this afternoon and I was given one race bib.  So does it go on my bike and I mark my number on my body?  Or do I wear it on my tri jersey and put nothing on my bike?

Interesting they gave you nothing for the bike, but that means you need to wear the number throughout.  In a Du I would anyways.  I would still wear a tri belt and have the number on the front like they want typically in a run and on the bike I would flip the number around out of my way and on my back.

AFAIK you only need to wear it during the run portion. What a lot of people do is get a racebelt and attach the bib to that so it's easy to take on and off.

Normally that would be true but they didn't give a number for the bike and I am betting they want to know who is who on the bike.  It should be in the race rules somewhere but I bet you need to wear it on the bike.
