Triathlon Transition Tips

1. Get up early to relax before race. You trained months for this event, "losing" an hour of sleep won't matter.
2. Get equipment prepped the night before your race, don't cause high anxiety by having to run around all over the morning of the race searching for goggles, bike helmet, nutrition aids, etc.
3. Eat your last meal by 6pm the night before. Otherwise you risk spending even more time in the bathroom race morning.
4. Arrive to transition early to setup your equipment.
5. Pre-plan, know the swim entrance, exit, bike out/in directions, run out, finish.
6. Where did you rack your bike? Count racks, count steps from swim finish to bike.
7. Have helmet, bike shoes, sunglasses, race number ready when you come out of water. Know where you are going to place the wetsuit. Have your running gear ready. Prep for nutrition needs during transitions.
