Posted on by admin

Don’t forget the bike! Hah.

I feel like I did an awesome job packing for Sunday’s race. I brought everything I needed but didn’t end up carrying around a bunch of extra stuff. Here’s what I took with me:

IMG_3314

General:

Tri-suit (I wore one from MooMotion)

Enell sports bra (BTW, this dried off really well in the swim to bike/run transition)

Food for before and after race

COFFEE!

Water bottle

Sunscreen

Post-race change of clothes

Bike Pump

Flat Kit

Swim:

Extra cap

Goggles

(Others also brought a wetsuit because the swim was wetsuit legal)

Bike:

Two small hand towels for drying off

BIKE!

Helmet

Gloves (didn’t wear them though)

Bike shoes

Socks

Fuel – I ended up taking three Gus and a packet of Sport Beans

Water Bottle

Run:

Sneakers (I wore my New Balance 880s with Lock Laces)

Hat

SpiBelt

So, the SpiBelt was the first running belt that I ever wore. I really liked it, but after a bit, I thought it got more “bouncy” and it was no longer my fav. But the company just contacted me to tell me that they reformulated the elastic band to prevent this from happening! I’ve been testing out the improved belt for a few weeks and now I remember why I love SpiBelts so much. <3 <3 <3

This belt is the “extra large” one – and it holds an incredible amount of stuff – but even the regular SpiBelt is pretty roomy.

The simple design is great for running or cycling – there’s not a lot of fussing necessary to open it up. Just un-zip and grab your fuel or phone or keys or whatever. Easy! Plus – so many cute and functional designs…

Tons of different colors

Prints – Camo, Polka Dots, Peace Signs and More

High Visibility

Stars and Stripes

Handheld SpiBelt with a Water Bottle Holder (COOL!)

SpiLeash <— a dog leash with a SpiBelt pocket built in (even cooler!)

Bonus – safety pin your race number to the belt and the SpiBelt doubles as a race bib belt, too.

Pedalling the Dream – How Cycling Really Can Change Your Life

It was at the top of the first climb out of Ushuaia that I knew I’d turned a corner. Phil – the man I’d met just six months earlier – had lovingly assured me that ‘there shouldn’t be any big hills to climb for the first few days’ of our trip. Yet here I was at the top of the southernmost point of the Andes. Phew. How wrong he’d been. My thighs burned. I’d been sorely tested on our very first day on the road. But I’d made it. Before setting off to the bottom of South America with our bikes and panniers, our ‘training’ programme had consisted of one 30km ride along a towpath. There hadn’t been the time, as we tied up the loose ends
