Subject: Chicago Marathon Apparrel Question...
So I'm running the Chicago Marathon on Sunday.. my first full marathon. I'm trying decide if I should wear my tri race number belt (along with my fuel belt) or just pin the # to my shirt...

Any suggestions?

I am wearing my belt. it does not matter but I gotten used to it. the pins can cause problems if its in wrong spot like if they rub against your nipples. the belt can fall apart forcing you to carry the bib.

If you are worried about B carry pins on you and pin if the belt dies. its all up to you. I like the belt though. Plus I want people to see the shirt. I am not using the one with my name on either this year. I think this one will be more fun.

I am planning on wearing my hydration belt (smaller one) so I probably will pin it.

Good luck and enjoy the run!

I would suggest pinning your number to your fuelbelt, instead of trying to wear both. That's what I do in races now and it works out great.

Good idea on pinning the # to the fuel belt... except I wear my fuel belt backwards (with the gel pouch on the back with the velcro in the front... so pinning it might be troublesome with a pin on both sides of the velcro...hmmmm....
