Subject: RE: Any new really good transition advice? Really good advice from one that says to just practice. Also, just like the other legs of the race push it. Run into the T area. Do everything the same way every time. For God's sake, don't put your entire outfit on in the T area. Learn to put a jersey on while on the bike if it is that cold or raining. Eliminate anything you don't need. ex. socks, sunscreen, conventional laces vs. speed laces., etc. Everyone says don't try anything different during a race. Do you go out in your garage and practice transitions? Didn't think so. So pick one thing and give it try. My mantra is that triathlon is a lifetime sport so keep experimenting and keep learning.
My two cents tip: Buy a race belt and attach anything you will need for the run to it. Hat, wristband, pills to pop, gels, etc. All I grab in T2 is shoes and race belt and pull the accessories off the belt as I start the run and find my land legs.
Godspeed! |
