Needed or not, you will need to pump your tires in the morning anyways, so why not leave it at around 80 psi? That's what I do in all my races where I need to check in the bike the night before.


Is this really true though? How many psi are you actually losing overnight? I've rarely noticed a difference.


Nothing new on race day.

Every time I ride I pump my tires to the pressure I want. So on race day I bring my pump and pump to the pressure I want.

Where do you put your pump when finished?

I see. I just know I've been at more than one triathlon where they won't allow bags in transition

There is a serious, devoted athlete, committed to the task of triathlon. He is happy because his heart rate is low, his blood lactate is low and his chances in this year’s Kona lottery is high.

At about the 1/2 mile mark my left soleus becomes extremely tight and painful. The pain then progresses into my left arch and then into my left knee.
