Simplify your Transition
Put a lot of forethought into your transition and don’t put out anything that you don’t need. Including items that you are not planning on using will only elongate your transition times. You should make all of your decisions prior to your race and mentally review what your T1 & T2 will look like.
Organize
Your transition area should be a well-organized area with everything readily accessible to you as you are coming out of the water or moving from bike to run. Using a small towel, or transition towel, to mark your spot is always a good idea. Get a towel that is bright and unique to help you recognize your transition area and set it apart from everyone else. All of your necessities should be placed in the order you plan to use them to eliminate any confusion from your transition. Think TYPE A PERSONALITY when you are setting up your transition area.
