    I wear my Camelback all the time. It's easier to get a drink on the bike, and then I keep it on for the run. I even wear it when I'm doing a marathon. I need drinks when I'm thirsty, not at certain mile intervals that are predetermined.
    I say wear the Camelback!

    I also vote wear the Camelback.

    I too enjoy running with mine as well. Happy to hear I am not the only one who does that!

    Alrighty, looks like I'll go ahead and do the Camelbak. I'm another one of those that runs with it for longer distances. Not sure I will during the tri, though, since the distance is so short, but if it's too hot, I probably will

    Thanks

    At my pace, water stops a mile apart are too far. I breathe through my mouth, and hate when it gets dry, so I like being able to sip from my Camelback. Actually, though, I have a waist pack with a diagonal single bottle and a little pouch for gel or whatever.

    But at Wickham Park Marathon, I'll be carrying 100 oz of water and praying it makes it through a 3.75 mile loop...

    Do you have aero bars? If so you can get a water bottle with a straw that is bungeed between them.

    I wish I had aero bars. Or at least a nice road bike, but that's going to have to wait another year.

    Nanci, I don't have one of the fuel belts or bottles, but it's something I may think about getting.

    Thanks for the help!!

    I don't have the belt, but the bottles are a nice size, and you can stick one in a jersey pocket or trunk bag and not know it's there.
