Tape that is, IM wisc states you need reflective tape for the run. What does that mean and where do I get it? Do they supply any or do you get an ankle/wrist band? Also the water supplied on the bike course, do they station that on the uphills or flats or does it fall where it may according to mileage spacing? Time is short, palms are sweating, where the hell does the tape go!! Can you run the deep gravel sections?
ok, first off…DEEP BREATH…RELAX!!! think happy thoughts.
you can get it at any hardware store or the expo. they always have some around.
i think youre supposed to put a few pieces on the front and back of your body. (Stuff never sticks though) i put a thin strip on my race number too.
see you in 24hrs.
They will also hand out green glow sticks.
Put a few pieces of tape on your shoes and race number, maybe the back of your hat.
Aid stations on the bike are in the little towns you go through: Verona, Mt. Horab, …, plus I think I remember one on the way back to Madison from Verona. They are on flats.
Yeah, just get some at the hardware store, or in the automotive section of like Wal-Mart or a place like that. They sell strips in a pack and then you can cut them up however you like and stick some on your clothing. My wife cuts hers into little smily faces and stuff like that. The stuff the sell at the expo are usually little reflective dots which are convenient but more expensive. But one tip…make sure you peel off the stickers before you finish, especially if it’s dark out, or else your finish line photo will have huge flashes from the reflections on it.
The water on the bike falls where it is supposed to go. I don’t remember any being on uphill stretches except perhaps along Whelan road on the way back into Madison.
