Please indulge this IM newbie, as I try to plan the logistics of my race (nutrition, transition, etc.). I'm trying to figure out what to do with everything that I need to carry on the bike. I'm just curious how you all choose to pack your stuff so your bike doesn't end up looking like something out of Sanford & Son. Having never done an IM, I'm also not sure what they have at aid stations, vs. what I need to carry onboard.
For what it's worth I have a Softride Rocket TT. I have a NeverReach drink system(60oz) that I'll probably use for the race, and frame water bottle cage.
Please tell me what I'm missing or if I have things here that I really don't need; any tips on where you put it all would be helpful.
I figure I need:
extra tubular tire (or should I take two?)
CO2 Cannisters & pump gadget
Mini Tool & tire lever
Lots of Gels
Powerbars(or similar)
Carb replacement/sports drink
H20
Electolyte/salt tablets
Thanks a lot for your advice.
