Cycling Guru 15134 Fulton, MD | Subject: RE: shoes already clipped in If they had announced it in the race packet/meeting/rules that "No shoes will be allowed to be clipped in before the bike leg" then I would get that. But if they just did it after the fact of their own volition without announcing it?? Not cool. I'm in the camp of about half and half. Depending on the course and my bike placement, I'll make the game day call as to whether they are clipped in or not. |

Elite 2768 Raleigh | Subject: RE: shoes already clipped in I have heard the same story about the RD going thru and unclipping the shoes, the story I heard was that the RD did make an announcement that no shoes were allowed clipped in (I think it was a HIM) and then they went thru and unclipped the shoes of violators. The main thing is practice, just like anything in this sport... nutrition, bricks, etc. It all takes practice. Edited by trigods 2009-04-28 12:20 PM |

Subject: RE: shoes already clipped in trigods - 2009-04-28 1:13 PM 2. Run past the mount/dismount line when you are going to get on your bike, there is nothing wrong with going a extra 5-10 years to get a clear area to get on your bike. Not positive but I believe that might affect even BOP-ers times |

Champion 11989 Philly 'burbs | Subject: RE: shoes already clipped in I leave my shoes clipped in except when there is an uphill right at the start. I do not do a full flying mount but am able to get my feet on top of the shoes without completely stopping and then I start pedaling right away. I use rubber bands to keep the shoes in the proper position. Once I am up to cruising speed I get my feet in the shoes. I put some Vaseline around the opening to allow for easier entry and I fold back the tongue a bit so it sticks to the Velcro that holds the strap. I'd imagine the flying mount could save a few seconds and maybe I'll get there. |

Elite 3315 Miami | Subject: RE: shoes already clipped in i am a newbie. but many times people don't practice enough....and then they have problems. my suggestion is this go on a 15 min ride, clip shoes and just practice putting feet in and removing them out. the day before the race. IF YOU HAVE tri bike shoes is to hold the loop, balance the bike with 1 hand and then slide your foot in without looking. to answer your question yes there is very good video on youtube. but i am at work sorry. |

This is great advice for everyone, not just people with their shoes clipped in. Last year I was watching a race where there was a 90 degree corner coming out of T1. The mount line was before the corner. I watched racer after racer cross the mount line, mount their bike, and fall over trying to make a 90 degree turn. 6 feet of walking would have seen them on a shallow downhill slope perfect for getting moving. It was mildly entertaining to watch. |

Pro 4909 Hailey, ID | Subject: RE: shoes already clipped in I saw a thread on slowtwitch about this, and was VERY surprised how 95% said it was stupid to do as an AGer. I would have figured that crowd to be all over it. They were saying how it's dangerous (most people suck at it) and too many people in a small exit to do it. Never even tried it myself. |

Never even tried it myself. might be stupid for AGer but i HATE running with bike shoes on. especially if the transition area is not grass or sand. which has happend in MIT triathlon and it was a MASSIVE transition area. |

Member 53 Marysville, Michigan | Subject: RE: shoes already clipped in This is all REALLY good stuff. However, no one has even mentioned that, after you have pedalled for a while with your feet on top of your shoes, that the toungue is now flattened down onto your shoe and it's a little bit of manuevering to get the toungue back up so you can get your foot in. Any thoughts? Anyone? I find myself using my opposite hand to physicall pull the toungue back up. Is there a better way?! |

Is there a better way?! yes my shoes do that. i have them open as far as i can before and just try to find the shoe opening with my toes. sometimes it takes little fidelling. but this is where tri shoes are nice. the loop helps to keep the shoe in once place. honestly before every bike ride and after one i usually practice taking them off and on. had no problems. |

Coach 10487 Boston, MA | Subject: RE: shoes already clipped in most races I've done recently don't allow it anymore so know I just put on my shoes on T1 and run out and then fly-mount on my bike. I do leave them on when dismounting for T2 though... |
