Besides water cages and tool kits, what would be ideal accessories needed for an ironman? I am doing Augusta (I know it’s 8 months away but I want to be fully prepared) this year as my first half and I want to make sure I have everything I need.
Thanks
For a 70.3 just a single spare tube and a couple CO2 cartridges. I actually carry a 2nd tube too since I have room with my rear hydration without any aero penalty. For the full I’ll stick a couple more tubes in my special needs and might carry a patch kit in case I get to a 3rd flat in one lap. Better to finish than not at all or waiting 30 minutes for race support.
For 70.3, minimal is key. I say one water cage and tubes with your tool kit. This does depend on the frequency of water stops though so check that out
