I initially pinned the number to my shirt but then I added the cycling vest (my club wanted pics of us all dressed up). I wasn't sure if I would keep the vest after the cycling part (I did after all) so I wanted to avoid having to re-pin the number to my other shirt. This would have taken me a while!!

And... the race belt is a special one. It was used by my boyfriend's dad in (winning) triathlons for many years, and then by him. I felt privileged wearing it! (Plus: it closed the debate on whether he was going to do it or not....!)

But I will get my own, because...

You're hooked, aren'cha?! Of course you are! So glad you had a great time.
I am.

Thanks for your kind words!
