Looks like I still haven't decided whether to wear my number in the front or backRode with a friend through the AFA ride and met Steve at the stadium to practice transitions.
Things I practiced: putting on my new race belt skirt and pondering “should I wear the number bib in the front or back?, putting on socks and bike shoes and running in the shoes alongside my bike, putting on my sunglasses BEFORE the helmet, remembering to take OFF the helmet and bike gloves after the ride, spraying on sunscreen, not falling when I get off the bike and run to my transition area.
Things Steve practiced: getting into his shoes while attached to the bike pedals (advanced tactic only – I’d have my face planted on the pavement if I did this), getting out of his bike shoes while they are still attached to the bike (again, envision ungraceful falling if I did this), having his pedals in the right position so he can jump on and go, having his bike in the right gear for either up or downhill as the bike course starts (my gear is set to the last gear it was in on my last ride…), and sprinting from where he leaves his bike to the run course (I’m hoping to be able to walk once I get my bike racked after the bike ride).
