Hello
i have been to pick up my packet for my sprint triathlon today and I expected to get some useful stuff like race number for my belt and bike. Nope just a letter about rules of race and map.
So, now I am a bit worried about it all for 6am tomorrow morning

1. I have bought a race belt and assume that race number will easily "clip" onto this and that I just put it on for the run. If it doesn't and I am wearing a tri top throughout presumably I will have to pin it to an extra shirt and throw that on top for run??

2. what are they likely to give me for bike and where does it go and do I need to take anything with me to stick it on to bike

Can you tell I'm nervous? I was just expecting to be a little more organised re above BEFORE I got there

Thanks in advance

Jackie

Don't sweat it. You will be able to snap your race number onto your belt, or pin it to the belt, whichever you prefer. If for some reason you can't, pin it to your race shirt, and put your race shirt on in T1. For the bike, if they give you one, it will probably have some kind of double sided tape on it. So you should be able to wrap it around and stick it to itself. If all else fails, just check to see what other racers are doing with theirs, that's what I usually do.

Good luck tomorrow!

Jackie, we only need numbers on our run, not for our bike. So we'll get your belt ready for T2, and then you can put it on. No need to worry about T1.

I agree with you though, I wish they handed out the numbers today. That packet pickup was a waste of everyone's time today.

See you tomorrow.

I'll second the pointlessness of the "packet pickup" today.

Don't worry about the numbers. It'll clip onto the belt. See you there.
