Subject: RE: Triceratops Tri : Official Threadxcourtx - 2009-06-24 1:49 PM more questions!! i'm sorry!!
do you guys suggest wearing a water belt during the run ( or walk, in my case )? or is that too much extra weight?
do you put on your number belt for the bike and run or just the run?
i'm concerned about getting a nervous stomach before the race... does anyone take pepto bismol before a race?
thank you, yet again!! Water belt - you'll probably be thankful for the water. If you're planning on walking some, then you're probably not worrying about whether the slight weight addition will slow you down, either way, actually, I'd vote "YES, carry water" Number belt - I've seen people do either way... I don't think there's a right or wrong... you don't NEED it on the bike leg, but you won't forget it in T2 if you already put it on in T1  Nerves - I was nervous before both of my races, but I didn't consider Pepto and I don't know if/how it might affect a race (r ). My only advice is to remind yourself that you are doing this for FUN and fitness, and nobody gets nervous about FUN stuff (in theory ) <-- I'm also trying a little peer pressure... haha! It's NOT just for high school anymore  Good luck, have fun, stay watered, and I look forward to reading your race report |
