Expert 786    Princeton, MN |  Subject: T2 EtiquetteHas anyone else encountered the problem I experienced at the Gear West Dualthlon yesterday? I returned to T2 after a particularly tiring ride coping with a 40 mph head wind at times to find "my" spot in T2 taken by some inconsiderate b*****ds bike. I was pretty annoyed. My change of gear was all neatly laid out . So it should have been apparent that this was someones place. But they put their bike right on top of my stuff. I wasted time in T2 looking for a place to put my bike as a result I forgot to take my Gu and bonked 1/2 mile from the finish. I should have thrown his bike away.. Ian |

Elite 2553 Tucson, AZ | Subject: RE: T2 Etiquette Yep, that happened to me in my 2nd tri. Someone racked their bike right on top of my run stuff. So I pushed their bike over and racked mine where it belonged next to my stuff. |

Pro 3870 Virginia Beach, VA | Subject: RE: T2 Etiquette That's exactly what I was about to say. I can understand if the person to either side of you didn't get their bike totally back in it's original spot but anyone who just took the wrong place...I'd just shot it out of the way.

Expert 1836 Lafayette, CO | Subject: RE: T2 Etiquette If that happened to me, the person would've found a note where their bike had been: "I'm sorry that you felt that you needed to park your bike on my running gear. I took the liberty of moving your bike to a secure location, since I didn't know who it belonged to. You may claim your bike from under the first buoy at your convenience." |
