Subject: Bike Check-in Day before Race
I am racing the Santa Cruz 70.3 in a couple of weeks. I have to check-in my bike on Saturday, the day before the race. This is a first for me. Will there be bike pumps available in transition the morning of the race or should I bring my own?

Will there be? Yes

Can you bring your own? Yes

Want to save time and stress? Bring your own

You'll be fine either way, just do what you are most comfortable with.

Most likely there will be pumps provided through a local bike shop providing bike services for the day. If they are busy, also likely is that half the people in transition will bring their own pumps and would be happy to loan you theirs. I like to bring my own just for stress relief's sake, but if you don't have a Sherpa to hand it off to, you have to figure out what to do with it afterward (do you have time to run back to your car, etc.).

You may think that all the swims are the same. You get in, follow the buoys and exit. Well, it’s not so simple. What will the water itself be like?

I have seen cyclists go to a bike shop the day before a race expecting their problem to be fixed, only to be told the shop cannot complete the job in time.
