Newbie basic question!

Hi folks,
I think this is an excellent forum and enjoy the threads and the views and debate they generate….so tentatively I ask my first question…..(apologies it so basic[8|]!)
The splashing up and down the pool, thrashing down the local dual carriageway on my bike and running round the block are about to be put to the test…in two weeks (29th March) I will be competing in my first triathlon! (East Leake - 400m swim, 20km bike, 5km run.) Very excited and nervous!
Read the rules, thought about what I will wear and practiced my transitions - but one detail I am not sure about is what do I write my race number on my legs with?
Should I take along a marker pen to deface my highly (not) trained legs (hairy!) or is it normal for the organisers to do (inflict) this for me?
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Conehead - thanks for the plug, I will check your book out - I am always willing/want (needing to?) to learn from other people's experiences.
Thanks for your support,

Actually, I'm just embarrassed that I didn't think to ask all these questions before my first ever race. The first time I'd heard of race numbering was when I registered for my first Sprint Tri many years ago and a nice lady started drawing on me.
Enjoy your first tri. Here's to many more! [:D]
