One is for your helmet, one is for your bike. Put the one for your bike under your seat, facing out! The last Du I did, I put it on the horizontal bar and I got a bunch of little cuts on my legs from it! Not good :)<br /><br />Get there early and get acquainted with the course and where you will come in and out of transition. Go see where the mount/dismount line is for the bike. It can help :)<br /><br />Good luck and I cannot wait to here about it!!!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03886073322956851554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37373654.post-18325910090261561862011-08-04T19:43:00.174-04:002011-08-04T19:43:00.174-04:00No words of advice- but good luck, have fun, and m...No words of advice- but good luck, have fun, and make sure to take more great pictures of your hair :)kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240103557027301457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37373654.post-50790920399766253412011-08-04T19:12:40.176-04:002011-08-04T19:12:40.176-04:00No duathlon experience here, but I just want to wi...No duathlon experience here, but I just want to wish you good luck!Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00472904236438692071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37373654.post-46767013059026166142011-08-04T18:15:17.998-04:002011-08-04T18:15:17.998-04:00Cannot wait to read the recap.
