If you pin your race number fairly snuggly you can limit the bouncing. Just be careful when you unpin the gels because you can easily drop them if you're not paying attention.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-68170039177731046672007-08-21T10:31:00.000-05:002007-08-21T10:31:00.000-05:00Thomas,you can buy "race ready" shorts, they have ...Thomas,you can buy "race ready" shorts, they have enough pockets around the waist to carry gels, band aids,and pain killers etc. Recently I just bought Addidas shorts and they have a pocket in the back with a zipper, it can fit about three packs of gels easily, but not enough room for other survival stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-82402066168235385252007-08-21T06:21:00.000-05:002007-08-21T06:21:00.000-05:00An age-old question of mine.

I'm definitely not wearing a fanny pack over the whole marathon course. I once carried 3 gels in my hand for 20 miles (well, the last one for 20 miles), but that's not ideal either. I tried pinning them to my shorts, but felt they were dragging my shorts down.<BR/><BR/>What's your preferred solution?Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.com
