Let's see your awesome triathlon life hacks - stuff along the lines of:
- using an old inner tube as an ankle band for swimming
- taping gels to your top tube
- zip-tying anything up to and including a small child to your handlebars
- wearing compression socks to a massage the day after a race because you've got poison ivy all over your calves #procompression

Worked like a charm and really accentuated my love handles.
Tape a can of campbell's soup to your top tube. Calories, carbs, salts, and hydration all in a single can.

Ben Greenfield likes talking about hacks. Look at his picture. Trust this man.
Shave minutes off your transition time by leaving your wet suit on for the bike.
In addition to not wasting precious seconds stripping a wet suit from your body you'll also save time on the bike from less drag. Less wind resistance = faster times.

"What The Forecast"
Cassette holders out of PVC pipe.
I need to clean my workbench.
They usually come with some air already in them. Unroll it and start away from the valve, stretching and rolling back to the valve, eliminating all air. When you get to the end, close the valve. Now unroll it and then just roll it up like standard. Watch as your tube goes from the size of a fist to about two fingers in width. After that I usually wrap them really tight in electrical tape too. It's a pain in the ass to deal with the tape, and I don't do it for race spares, but it's no issue for training.
It's the difference between taking two tubes on a ride or just one, or packing extra stuff like a legitimate chain tool. It also means you can usually ditch your saddle bag completely since you can easily fit tube/levers/multitool and pump in your pocket
But yeah, your workbench is fahking filthy.
that's cool... I use these for cassette holders:
