i keep hearing about "special needs bag" is that your transition stuff? or does it come mid way through the bike? is it standard for all IM and Iron distance races? what about HIM?

You do not have special needs bags in a HIM race. They are for the full, usually half way. Most put extra food, fuel, emergency items (med's, I put body glide) and extra tubes.

Some HIMs DO utilize a special need bag.....

EndorFun races, for two examples: Mooseman and Timberman. Although it was hardly utilized by the athletes at these two races.

Ooops, and for the Mooseman and Timberman, the special needs bag was located at the run turnaround, or halfway points.
