Subject: RE: Rain in the forecast put a bag over your transition stuff and if it's been raining the day before, lay your stuff on a bag. Keep your dry clothes in your car! I woud go so far as to put everything in separate ziplock bags, but I'm a little kooky like that.
Make sure you have clear glasses or yellow lenses to protect your eyes.
Gloves to be able to hold on to wet handle bars.
Your bike gets wet when you come out of the water, so I really don't worry about it getting wet, but I see a lot of people put grocery bags on their seat and computers, they rip them off right before the race starts.
If it's going to be cool out maybe bring a vest or arm warmers to ride in.
A hat to run in.
*On the bike, be careful of the white fog line. Don't ride on it. The water makes it extra slippery and you could crash. Also water acts as a lubricant for glass. I did Timberman last year and saw more flats than I've ever seen due to the wet roads.
Be prepared (mentally ) to get wet and just enjoy it.
What distance are you doing? Edited by jeanneroth 2006-08-26 8:56 AM
