Subject: RE: How not to look like a total noob on race day?V1per41 - 2010-08-16 3:47 PM Mistake I made at my last race that I haven't seen anyone here mention.
If you have to put the bike number on your top tube put it as far forward as possible. I put mine as far back as I could and it was brushing against my leg every pedal stroke and gave me a paper cut on my knee. x2. I am not a newb but in my 6th Half Ironman my bike sticker rubbed my leg on every single stroke becuase I placed it too far back on the top tube. A few miles in I couldn't stand it any longer and ripped it off. As a result, picking up my bike was a bit of a hassle as the transition volunteers were very dilligent about matching up the bike number with the athlete's wristband number. Lesson learned, 5 years into this. |
