In Vineman last year I saw the judges stop several riders and make them go back and get their bottles that flew out, which seemed to happen a lot.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards putting one of those funny aero bottles on the new bike instead. The behind the seat stuff just seems a little too ... something. I need to be able to drink while racing.

I use this bottle http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodPD_ACARDRK.html with this bracket http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodPD_ACUDRKBK.html for triathlon. The only trouble I have with it is that I don't use it often enough in training, so it always feels a little awkward to me in a race. I need to train with it more. I wish it held a little more fluid, though. I drink alot. I'm thinking of switching to this one: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodPD_ACAQUACELL.html It holds 44 oz (yes, I see that there's an add error on our page (it says 34..). I've asked someone to correct that ASAP)
I don't think I'm going to put aerobars on the bike this year. I think I'm just going to be more diligent about staying in the drops.

I use the Aerodrink bottle but it has a terrible tendency to splash when full, even using the yellow poof+the new top. I want to give the Sip Stream a try, I just wish it cost less.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
