This will be my 1st iron distance event. I would really (REALLY) appreciate any event-specific tips. (I of course won't look the other way if you throw me general tips! [I always underestimate what I learn from my posts.])

I'm doing the AquaVelo this weekend (as a training day -- not as a race), and I rode 1/2+ bike course a couple of weeks ago.

WEAR SUNBLOCK WITH INSECT REPELLENT ON THE BIKE ! (and on the run!)

I was attacked by mosquitoes --- it's really swampy in Dorchester and there are some nasty bugs.

I've heard good things about the Bullfrog sunblock with bugspray

"WEAR SUNBLOCK WITH INSECT REPELLENT ON THE BIKE ! (and on the run!)"

Awesome! Yet again I'm astonished with the advent of information technology (bug repellent is the absolute last thing I was thinking about). Thanks.
