In fact, I plan to write a review for it this week. <br /><br />Instead of two towels you may want to consider replacing one of them with a small door mat. I bought one for about $5 at Walmart. Rolls up and goes in my bag, and it is perfect for wiping my feet and stackign my gear on. Personally, I don't even worry about a towel in transition to dry off- I just come in qwet and keep going. The wind on the bike will dry you off.Lucas R.

Hmmmm glad this is a shorter race! That's funny I had not even looked at the pictures well enough till you pointed that out.. There is about a 16 or 17 year picture gap. I have been told I look much younger than I actually am but I'm still okay with that =) Thanks for the Tip!<br /><br />KC- You and the no socks =) lol! I can go get some "old school" tube socks for this race to make up for not having them on in the other race if you think they will help...Summer Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267849137209019826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986772265756062208.post-7326673563153221832011-04-13T20:15:05.820-07:002011-04-13T20:15:05.820-07:00I have to come back with an additional comment - d...I have to come back with an additional comment - do you realize how similar your current and younger you pictures are??

A prac...Sounds like you already have great advice.<br /><br />A practical consideration for the one piece tri suit versus a two: nature calls! Easier to manage with a 2 piece. Shouldn't be an issue for Olympic distance or shorter, but 1/2 IM or longer and a speedy pitstop is tougher with a one piece.CouplaHoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451071337732010115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986772265756062208.post-9528258729226661432011-04-13T05:25:23.278-07:002011-04-13T05:25:23.278-07:00FOr an Oly distance, you won't need a lot.

SO, no fuel belt, no bike bag, only 1 water bottle on the bike, no bike gloves, of course no socks (ha!), think minimalist for this race. <br />Love the tri suit. Love the pic with the high tops!! You would have been complete with the tube socks up to your knees though. <br />I'm going to message you on FB and give you my cell number. We can go over a bunch of this stuff so you can be ready to roll next month.KC (my 140 point 6 mile journey)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05183039121953689933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986772265756062208.post-55409860357648712832011-04-11T04:39:24.926-07:002011-04-11T04:39:24.926-07:00There is a lot of gear.

They helped me make sure I am landing on the right part of my foot so when I feel my form is slipping I will set off for a 1-2 mile run just to get my form in check. I don't wear them in races or more than 2 miles. I'm sure they would be fine to run in but I prefer my Nike's =)<br /><br />Megan, thank you I had not even thought about a bright towel! That's perfect now I will not have a hard time finding my gear =) Thanks!Summer Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267849137209019826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986772265756062208.post-49546038176523204522011-04-09T09:38:50.192-07:002011-04-09T09:38:50.192-07:00I think you got all the gear down, but think of th...I think you got all the gear down, but think of things you might like in transition. I like to have two small towels, one to stand one and one to dry my feet before I put my socks on. And if you use a really BRIGHT towels, it'll be something that'll make your transition area easy to find when coming in from the swim and bike.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123983428695061096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986772265756062208.post-5690943994892217072011-04-08T08:04:45.027-07:002011-04-08T08:04:45.027-07:00I <3 my Road ID.
