My final Oly is this Sunday and there is a 90% chance of rain / thunderstorms. The entire race period is blanketed by the rain probabilities, peaking at 90%+ around T1-mid bike. I run and bike in the rain, as required. I'm not bothered by the chance of that. I know how to manage traction on the bike, and blisters on the run in the wet. The temps will be 75F or so, so no issues with "windchill". I'm just curious if there are any alterations that people make to their transition setup for the rain?
In searching on here, I've read a few past threads and from those I mostly gleaned:
1. Bring trashbags for covering T-bag, and storing wet, nasty racekit post-race, sharing with the less fortunate.
2. Cover shoes in bag so you, at least, START the run dry...besides if its stopped raining by then...might even finish that way.
3. Dry pair of socks for the run (same argument as #2).
4. Change of dry, clean clothes (including shoes) for post-race.
Am I missing anything?
Hopefully it just rains, and no lightening-thunder.
