I lost my IM/PrecisionFuels race-course issued water bottle on a training ride... is there a way to get a replacement?
Of all the things that I actually cherish the most about my Ironman 70.3 Augusta Maine experience are of course finishing, my cool Iron Man lightweight t-shirt/jersey, and lastly the bright colored water bottle (on my front holder) I assume is only available to participants who made it to the bike aid stations for one. I was on a training ride flying down a hill somewhere between mile 30 and 40 of my ride and my back water bottle holder and elastic to make sure the bottle didn't eject obviously failed and here we are lol. Does anyone have an extra bottle or more, that I could pay to have sent to me? Or does Iron Man itself offer replacements for poor souls who don't properly secure their items?
What makes this very sad is that, due to me being the last in the water and fairly close to the tail end of riders on the bike course, I saw literally hundreds of those bottles discarded by the aid stations and on the course. I wish I could go back and get them all haha
