Adrienne's Transition Tips

Wed, 07/14/2010 - 13:21 — Anonymous
  1. Don’t change clothes
  2. Once you have your system, do it the same way every time – including your transition towel layout
  3. If you can leave your bike shoes attached to the bike, it really saves time
  4. Look up some cyclocross videos for how to mount and dismount your bike while moving – start practicing at a walking pace and then gradually work to increase your speed.  Practice on soft grass in case you have a mishap!
  5. In T2, put on your running shoes first, then grab your race number belt and hat/visor.  Put that stuff on while you are moving.
  6. Focus!  D

2009 Traverse City Triathlon Report

I heard about the Traverse City Triathlon from a friend of mine last week and signed up just before the online registration deadline Thursday night.  Sadly, this meant that I missed out on the great TC Tri t-shirts that were included in the early bird race packets.  Sigh.  Next year I'll make sure to sign up on time...
