Comments:

Couldn't get my bike out of the rack. I was to T1 to set up and bike fit fine under the pole...during race lot's of bikes still on rack, so it had sagged, and I couldn't get bike under the pole. Had to move the bike next to mine and then really tilt mine to get under it. Really slowed me down...at least 1 minute.
What would you do differently?:

Park bike with handle bars facing the bar.
