I have not had any luck getting hold of a race belt and need one for next Saturday!
I am in London today and tomorrow (near Islington/Shoreditch). Does anyone know where I can get a belt (ideally in my lunch hour) somewhere in central London.
I have just called SABAR on 0161 491 6661, they have them in stock, £5 + £2p+p and they will send it today. Give them a ring.
Alternatively, send me your address and I will post you one tonight, I have a spare. Its going free. Its one that has toggles on it that you thread the elastic bit thru the number then put the toggle back on.
I've just given away a spare number belt too, but I also use a High5 gel belt. That's elastic too, and you can just pin your number on there. Could be an option.
lol ! I have 'em all, one to carry 4 gel bottles, Hi5 one, 3 race belts for numbers. Amazing what you pick up as freebies at events. And what sh1t you tend to buy.
Thanks Iron Rose. I've got one being posted out today from SABAR.
I actually went to Runners Needs this lunchtime and reluctantly ended up with a very broad belt with some dire yellow 'Squeezy' gel advertising - whatever that is - which I will be binning as soon as the other one arrives!
ratbag, all it is is a bit of elastic that you pin your number to. then in T1 you put it round your waist (number at the back), and T2 pull it round so the number's at the front. it saves pinning numbers all over yourself.
I'm only saying what I saw ! It was very girly / trawlerman, and perched very gently on top of her head.
Almost like her husband had dropped it onto her whilst she napped. In fact that's gotta be the only answer.....
Anyway - off to the races on Friday, so you'll get a proper fashion report back from there.
Last year the highlight was probably the girl in the tight white silk trousers, with a white thong, and the Everton FC crest on her butt visible through the material from 10 foot away.

Dunno if they do specific tri stuff (if that's what you're after?) but worth giving them a call.

Choice is yours.

Piccie will look better with zipps on !

No, it doesn't.
Nuff said.
It was stupid.
My case is rested.
now - bring back the cute furry hat.

My only regret is that it didn't show up very well on our pics.
This is more like a Jazz thread now. Throw any old bumf in and see how it works out.
Niiiiiice.
All we need is Cleo Laine and we're away.
:oD
It looked pretty good.
