Thanks for the tip, thats a good plan for trainers as well as they can be a faff to get on in a hurry!

Stuff newspapers in your cycle shoes the night before the race
Heard this whilst watching the ITU champs in Beijing today - not tried it myself, but makes sense - if you're a triathlete that keeps their shoes on their pedals for a quick transition, stuff your shoes with newspaper the night before to get them really opened wide, then remove the newspaper before the race - the shoes should stay opened very wide, making it easier for you to get your feet in and get pedalling away into the bike leg quickly

Thats cool. My fear is that I wouldnt be able to get my shoes on without killing myself.
