Training = Fatigue

Recovery from Fatigue = Fitness

4. Attaching your race number to a race belt creates less drag than pinning it at the four corners. Why? Pinning in the corners or using two race belts creates a parachute effect which catches the air. It is better to have the number flapping around as this is actually less drag.

The best numbers, however, are stick-on ones. They create no drag but pin/belt on numbers are the most popular.
