ITEMS IN SN BAGS

Carl

•  Bike tubes
• CO
• Extra Feed Bottles...Frozen in am so they will be thawed by the time we reach them
• small packets of sunblock? (yes or no)
• Tylenol

 

RUN SN BAG

• extra socks?
• change of shoes?
• Tylenol?
• Red Bull-gives you wings

My thought is if you dont have to stop or dont need anything then I would maybe want some of my stuff back.  Not that tubes and CO are that expensive but it adds up.

Stephanie Stevens

Yes on the extra socks! It felt so good to change my socks at run SN at IMCDA last year.

I also add a little chamois cream (bike) and body glide (run) just in case I am needing it.

Michele Cellai

I change socks at T2, not run SN. But now that I have learned how to pee on the run, I might need the change.

I don't do extra shoes.

I keep a long sleeve shirt in run SN. I finish after dark, need the warmth.

Extra sunscreen, but spray version is not as messy and easier to apply.

Yes on chamois cream and body glide.

 Bike SN:

Tube and CO2 only incase I flat during the first half.  Always have a spare.

Extra nutrition bottle for 2nd half.

Treat = candy.

Lube.

Run SN:

Long Sleeve T.

Lube

Treat = candy.

Water bottle.

 

Note: I have always gotten my stuff back.  In my first IM I actually took off my Fuel Belt at mile 13 SN bag and dumped it in the SN Bag.  I wanted that shit off my hips, never had a problem in training.  I took a chance and even got that back the next day at IMFL.  But my advice is don't risk it with something your not prepared to loose.

Duct tape in run special needs, to slap on a developing blister if needed.

I carry 2 x tubes/Co2 on my bike + 1 set in BSN bag. But if I need all 3 I'm having a VERY bad day.
