Champion 5782  Northridge, California | Subject: RE: What do you put in your special needs bags Athletic (cloth) tape and Ace bandage in run bag. Almost certainly saved me from a DNF...but I probably wouldn't have packed them if I wasn't injured going in. However, after talking to someone else today who also taped up an injury in mid-IM run, I may make that a permanent feature. |

Master 1989 New Jersey | Subject: RE: What do you put in your special needs bags Didn't access special needs bag at all. Just had an extra spare in the bike one, just in case i use the one I was carrying. And had extra socks, shorts, shirt in the run one, again just in case chafing, wet, whatever. |

Champion 7704 Williamston, Michigan | Subject: RE: What do you put in your special needs bags Bike: spare tube and CO2 cartridge, some food that would make me happy. I had red licorace and a rice crispy treat which I have to say was about the best thing I ever ate at mile 80 on the bike. Run: DIET COKE, more licorace and another rice crispie treat. Some tums, blister pads and tylenol all in a little snack size baggie I cold slip in my tri top pocket. My coaches advice was to put something in run special needs that will 1-make you smile....a picture some food whatever 2-something to look forward to. The prospect of a cold diet coke at 13.1 miles was enough to keep me moving!! |

Expert 1205 Herndon VA | Subject: RE: What do you put in your special needs bags Look at the IMKY Athlete Guide - They are now special nutrition bags. It says you won't be getting the bag back. I guess they want to cut some costs by having to take care of the bags. Ernie |

Member 11 | Subject: RE: What do you put in your special needs bags Bike Bag included: C02 cartridges, spare tubes, 2 water bottles pre-filled/mixed with Infinit nutrition so all i had to do was swap out the old bottles, pb&j uncrustable (in case i wanted food), xtra salt tabs and GU in the event mine launched off the bike by accident Run bag included: arm warmers, advil, toothbrush (you will find your teeth so fuzzy feeling after all the sugary stuff you eat thruout the day, felt great to brush w/ no paste for 1 min then toss it), bandaids and socks, baseball to carry with me if my legs were cramping/tight to roll them while i walked (didn't use), and a water bottle with Infinit in case i was tired of gatorade on the run course |
