The one part of triathlon that nobody really practices butcan cause the most stress during the race is the transition. Your heart will beracing after swimming and cycling, therell be people running around you,therell be a lot of noise and all of this going on while youre trying tothink about what youre doing!Here are 10 top tips for a faster transition:Pre-race1. If you can rack your bike anywhere then picksomething near to a landmark you can easily see (a tree or a sponsors bannerare very useful). If you have to put your bike in a specific spot then try andget a feel for that area: are you in line with any landmarks, how far from theend of the row are you etc.2 Walk/jog the transition. Jog from the swim exitto your bike. Count the number of rows so you know exactly which one to go towhen you come out of the water. Then jog to the bike exit and make sure youknow where the mount/dismount line is. Go back to your bike and then jog theroute to the run exit. The number of people at races who go the wrong waythrough transition is incredible and its so unnecessary.3. Rest your helmet upside down, pointing towardsyou and with the straps open and lying outside. You can put it on your tri-barsif you have them or on the floor. Put your sunglasses in your helmet with thearms open. If youre using a race belt then rest this across your helmet so youcan grab each end, reach behind you, clip it on and turn it around.4. If youre going to use gels for the race thenput them in your helmet ready to put in your pockets after swimming. 5. The pros can mount their bikes with their shoesalready attached to the pedals which, though not terribly hard, if you want todo it you MUST practice before hand. If you dont want to do it (or want tocycle in trainers) then make sure your bike shoes are open so you can get yourfeet in easily. Its a good idea to put some talcum powder in them to help yourfeet dry after the swim. 6. The best time saving tip is elastic laces. Put themon your running shoes before the race (make sure to run in them at least oncebefore hand too) and youll be able to get your feet into your shoes inmoments.During the race7. If its a wetsuit swim, get your wetsuit down toyour waist BEFORE you take your hat and goggles off (youll find it hard to getyour wetsuit down with something in your hands!)8. Try to stay calm and dont panic as you run toyour bike. Your heart rate is probably going to be through the roof afterswimming so keeping a clear head is vital9. Dont try multi-tasking unless youve practicedit. The pros can take their wetsuit off and put their helmet on at the sametime but unless youre confident you can do it then get your wetsuit off first.Then put your race belt, sunglasses, helmet and bike shoes on (that order tendsto work best). 10. If youre wearing clipless pedals then consider about500m from the transition taking your feet out of your bike shoes, leaving themattached to your pedals. Do one foot at a time, release the straps, pull yourfoot out and rest it on top of your shoe and cycle the rest of the way likethis. Just dont let the straps get caught in the chain. This way you can getoff your bike and run easily into transition.These simple tips can save you a lot of time and stress soyou dont waste energy on something that can be very easy. After all, youregoing to need that energy to race!
