Packing your transition bag
A large backpack with a lot of pockets usually works best. If you have to ride your bike to the transition area from your hotel or the parking lot, it is much easier to do so with a backpack rather than a cumbersome bag. For Ironman races, most of the time you will have checked in a lot of your gear a day or two before the race.
