Am I correct that all bike gear - needs to go in at check in also - along with all run gear?
That is what I believe to be the case - I just want to confirm we will have access to these bags come race morning - to add flasks, bottles of fuel etc etc
The meeting is after the check in closes - so I just wanted to be sure - am laying everything out right now - and don’t want to not pack my gel flasks etc - based on the belief that I can put them in there race morning - only to find out I can’t.
Also - reflective tape - does it need to go on the front of your apparel also or just the back?
You will have access to your gear bags on race morning. It’s on the sheet of instructions called “IM AZ Final Athlete Information” they handed you when you checked in.
My favorite part of race morning is double checking my bike, adding gel flasks, etc. I also check tire pressure, but NEVER bring my pump with me, as there will be at least 1,000 other nervous racers there with pumps. Good luck, and have fun !

Thanks for the assistance
Front and back, and at least back in the day, both top and bottom. For the front (top or bottom depending on how you are planning on wearing your number), I’ve stuck it on the corners of my number, less likely to get swept away by all the swilled and spilled gatorade and coke.
