anyone have suggestions for run chafing? I can't wear tri shorts to run...got some terrible issues from two different chamois. Regular spandex is usually my go-to, but even that was killing me on the 2 hours plus category. Aside from body glide...what do you do? Just run and deal with the pain after?

Anyone planning on wearing bathing suits and changing? my favorite bike shorts are my Desoto 400 mile shorts, which I can't swim in. Boo.

I guess I just wanna see what everyone is wearing.

15step - 2010-08-19 12:25 PM So random question: how does the GPS unit know when you started the race?Since it is a time trial start, no one knows exactly when they get in the water. If the GPS unit is just a receiver, then how do you turn it on for when the race starts?

My guess is that you turn it on at any point prior to the race start and then when you start, the dot starts to move.  It isn't a timing system so it isn't going to give you splits or anything like that, just your location on the course at a given point and then your locations at previous points....That's my guess.

Is there a place to register, or do you just show up in your underwear?

turtlegirl - 2010-08-20 5:12 AM Please send our very own trimegger some love via inspires. She broke her collarbone yesterday and obviously can't race. I just ache for her!

If I can find a top that works (so far my Zoot/Gu jersey and my jogbra are fails) for the swim, but I've swum 4,000 meters in the Desoto 400 mile shorts with no problem.  You just have to be sure to tie the drawstring extra tight.  If I can't find a top, I'll be in regular Speedo for the swim, DeSoto 400 mile shorts and Team Zoot/Gu jersey for the bike and Brooks kit (nightlife shimmel and shorts) for the run.

For the chafing, I recommend vasaline.  Aquaphor has even more staying power.  I sweat body-glide and chamois butter right off.

95 degrees for race day!!!! I hope it keeps going up as the heat is the great equalizer!

Do you have rear bottle cages at all?  You say they are flimsier, but do they seem prone to ejection?

There isn't a scheduled time nor location.  Just a general idea that some people want to meet up on Friday, but no one has made anything official   Maybe we should switch it and meet at the practice swim saturday morning.  I'm not going to step up to take charge of this meet up until I'm actually in KY, but if someone else wants to declare something I will go along with it.
