Hello Everybody,

I am doing my first Ironman this year and I need help getting my bike setup for it? I am a lot nervous so I have tons of questions. I am in the military and I am training to take part in the military nationals as well. I should also mention that I have been deployed for the last year so I am really not in the loop. I signed up for an ironman to keep me focused while I was gone.

I have access to a Cervelo P5 etap, what do i need to set it up:

What would you recommend for behind the seat hydration, down tube bottle and between the arms hydration? I have a zipp between arms hydration right now but the torhans looks interesting.
Do people still use xlabs stuff, none of the local stores seem to carry it?
What do you recommend for a bento box?
What should I do for a repair kit? The bike has the typical hed jet black 6 so will 80mm stems on inner tubes work?
What do you think of those pit stop type products that can potentially seal a flat and re inflate and do you have a product suggestion if they work?
Should I change tires to GP4000s 25mm tires or keep the Attack/Forces 25mm/23mm that comes with it?

What do you think of the new Giro Vanquisher MIPs helmet?

Any recommendations for power meters and computers. I am not hearing great things about the vector 3 dual side?

Am I missing anything?

Thank you,
