Ok so now its getting closer, June 15th is the day, its a sprint tri.

So heres what I have so far, I'm going to buy a wetsuit, since I'm gonna do a couple open water swims before hand to prepare it makes economic sense (the local shop has a suit on sale for $200). For the Bike/run I'm going to use my old running flats (Nike Zoom Countrys), and I only have toe straps, no clip in pedals/shoes.

So heres my questions...
1. What do you wear under the wetsuit? Tri-shorts? I'm assuming to wear tri shorts, run up to the bike, dump the suit, toss on a jersey, socks, shoes, helmet, and hop on the bike. I guess gloves and sunglasses would be a little too much work, but maybe those too, or dont bother?

2. For the bike portion, I have aero bars on my bike, and Ive seen those water bottles that stick in between them. I also own a camelback I could put on during the transition (but its one more thing to have to get off). The advantage with the camelback Is I can carry a tire tube and repair kit. Its only a 12 mile ride. Should I just go with the aero bottle and forgo the repair stuff, or maybe even buy a little underseat bag, or noone bothers to carry that?

I'm excited!
