#1 do I need a bottle blanket heater? #2 should I get a 10#,15# or 20# bottle? thanks for the help

 

you dont have to have a bottle blanket/heater, but they are recommended and the bottle size is preference, i would get the biggest one that you can fit where you want to put it

 

1) No you dont NEED a blanket heater, it just keeps the pressure from start to finish better.
2) The size of the bottle is up to you. Standard is 10# and It will do many races, just depends on how long you want to wait between refills. I havent checked in a while but bigger bottles are usually a decent amout more.
Hope this helps some

so will a 10# bottle last lets say 2 1/4mile races? what does teh average run use #age wise? thanks

 

a ten pound bottle with a heater usually lasts most people i know running 100-150 shot a good 6-7 races, sometimes 8

 

Yup.
Without a heater you will probably get about 4-5 consistant runs.
