Easy Ways to Improve Your Triathlon Transition Time
The transition time in your triathlon is often over looked by many triathletes, especially by beginning triathletes. A lot of people don’t realize it but you can sometimes cut a few minutes off your overall triathlon time and, if not careful, you can add on several minutes. Being prepared and organized in the transition zone can be the leading factor to whether or not you win, beat your friend, or improve your time.
The transition from the swim to the bike is probably the trickiest. The first thing you want to do is mark where you station is on the rack. It happens more often than you would think; people forgetting where their station is and run through row after row looking for their bike and gear. You will notice that some people bring helium balloons to tie to the rack at their station so they can easily spot it as they come out of the water and into the transition zone.
But, that may be a little overkill, as long as you remember what row you’re in you shouldn’t have any problems. Another trick to remember is to already have your biking shoes attached to the pedals, if you have clipless pedals. This saves you time because you can start pedaling with your feet on top of your pedals. By doing this are already on the go and can slip your feet into your shoes as you ride instead of standing still in the transition zone.
When you return from the bike portion you should already have your running shoes out and opened for you to slip your foot in very easily. Just like the beginning of the bike stage, when you put your shoes on on the go, you need to take them out as you are riding in and pedal with your feet on top of your shoes. It saves time by taking your shoes off as you as moving rather than standing still. When you come in you just need to hope off your bike and slide into your running shoes and you’re off!
If you’re going for the win or to beat your friend the transitions can make or break that race for you. So be prepared and always be sure to practice before your race. You don’t want to try everything for the first time the day of the triathlon.
