I agree with not needing some of the stuff. Like after my first IM, I didn't want another person ripping my wetsuit off of me. But I have to say the T1/T2 volunteer assistance helps with time when it comes to repacking your gear and running extra distance to re-rack it on a specific number. In my last race, those racks were a little off the beaten path when it came to grabbing or re-racking your bike. So do you ultimately need it, no, but it saves minutes in the transitions in overall race time. I would say the same about taking the time to apply your own sunscreen. So we are back to discussing these extra "luxuries" during these north american races.haha I love wetsuit strippers, mostly because I'm slow as sh*t in transition so it helps me :-). But you're right, we do have some extra luxuries if you do a race like IMLP or IMMT. I was spoiled in IMLP. The volunteers were awesome in transition.
