As for taking up room......if it fits right on the little transition towel...how can it take up more space? the more in transition equals more space taken up, this is simple math. why anyone needs anything more on the ground besides bike shoes and sneakers is beyond me. Fixed an ITU guy? Not at all. An (A?) SOTB (shoes on the bike) guy. Edited by the bear 2009-07-15 1:56 PM |

Veteran 840 | Subject: RE: at T1, anybody sit/kneel down to put on socks and shoes? I sat. I'm not in that big a hurry plus if you fall over you might knock over a dozen bikes. |

Extreme Veteran 452 Ottawa, Ontario | Subject: RE: at T1, anybody sit/kneel down to put on socks and shoes? I don't sit down intentionally, but I have fallen over a couple of times when putting my shoes on. I wish I was kidding! I have serious balance issues. D |

Elite 3471 Evergreen, CO | Subject: RE: at T1, anybody sit/kneel down to put on socks and shoes? I used to use a bucket and it didn't take up any more room than my transition bag does now. A bright orange Home Depot bucket -- easy to spot. I stopped using it because as soon as I sat down I forgot I was in a race. If you're dizzy after the swim earplugs might help. Yoga helps the balance, too. So does practice. In the meantime, use a bucket if you want. |
