Questions people actually ask
Tap a question to open the answer.
Do I need all of this for a sprint?
No, and the list changes when you pick sprint: the special needs sections disappear entirely. What is left is marked essential, advised or tip. Essential means the sport broadly agrees you are not starting without it, like a helmet or a timing chip. It is not a list of rules, because rules come from your race, not from us.
What is the difference between the T1 and T2 bags?
T1 is everything between the water and the bike: helmet, shoes, race number, food for the bike. T2 is what waits for you when the bike is racked: running shoes, run nutrition, dry socks. Many long-distance races use separate transition bags handed in the day before, but the system varies by event, so your athlete guide is the one that counts.
Is this list for 70.3 and full distance too?
Yes. Pick Half for the middle distance (1.9km swim, 90km bike, 21.1km run, often called 70.3) or Full for the long one. Some full-distance races offer special needs access, halfway through the bike and out on the run. Where yours does, those two sections help you plan them. Check your athlete guide either way.
Do my ticks save?
They save in your browser, on this device, with no account and nothing sent anywhere. Clear your browser data and they go. If you want a list that survives a new phone and knows your race dates, that is what the app is for.
