Looking to finish up prep for first IM. Have the nutrition and hydration dialed in and have been tweaking a few others.
Remaining problems.
Where to put spare tube- Ditched the bag to be ST compliant, taped levers under seat, now where to put tires? Do I really need leavers for Zipp FC?
Strippers- Not like mom does, what is the best procedure... Use them or do on my own?
Special Needs- Is two CO2's enough on the xwing or do i put some extras in there? Tubes? How bout a can of HTFU? My nutrition has been Gu/Uncrustables... Is SN bags a reason to stop and unload or just do it while riding?
IM v. HIM Transitions... No guide yet, but if i recall all gear goes in bag except helmet and shoes if mounted on bike? Exit water, strippers, gear bag, changing tent, go to rack? Or will it be more like what I experienced @ HIM Lake Stevens? Is there any reason to not just wear my race kit, compression sleeves under wet suit and expedite process?
Teflon tape/how to push down valve stem in zipp extenders on the side of the road- Had been carrying a ballpoint pen with tape wrapped around it. Is this ST compliant?
Mounting w/shoe attached- I train this way, but didn't do it @ HIM and watched several people have a meeting with the pavement! Don't want to be that guy.
Any other big things I'm forgetting?
