Am I missing anything for my 1st TRI??? (Page 2)

T1 and T2 are rarely in different places. In most tris you have to rack your bike(T2) in exactly the same space you unracked it (T1).

Camera should really be left with supporting spouse or unwitting but willing spectator in order to get action shots.

I take black electrical tape, mainly for "just in case" issues.

So far I've used it to tape Gu on the bike (tape it at the tear point and you can open it with one hand!), to secure a race number to the bike, to keep a loose wire close to the frame, and have lent it to others who used it to cover the ends of their handlebars that were missing caps... I'm sure I'll find other uses next race!

Sister Booty is geographically distant.   Good thing for BIL or I would kick his butt. 

Thanks my BT friends for supporting Cathleen through this.  She has trained long and hard, managing emerging asthma, managing 3 kids.  

Cathleen - my first tri I had Rachael out, who I left in the care of Emily and Kevin.   It was great to have someone there.   However, at the end, they Em and Kevin were SO ready to go right away, and I wanted to hang out with COgirl and Ovetta, get a massage, etc,etc.    Take advantage and linger, stay and encourage the last finishers, enjoy the BT comaradarie, and don't think you need to rush home to resume your other responsibilities.
