Get a faster transition into its next Triathlon Times
Moving quickly from one discipline to another is critical. Often, athletes beat T1 out of the water before you and vice versa person outside the transition zone. Here are some ways to improve your transition times.
Carrera Pre
Arrive early! Familiarize yourself with the transition zone, set your computer to the transition. Make sure you have trained without gloves or socks if you plan to race without them. To save time in the transition zone.
Come early to choose the place of your bike rack, especially if the race open racks are used instead of one assigned. Ideally, you want your bike either leave the entry transition zone, as close to the end of the row as you can easily find.
Check the path from swimming to cycling to running to see if there are places to avoid. Remember that your bike is memorizing the number of bike racks to the position on the grid so you can quickly and easily identify without confusion. Also the location the bicycle assembly line before the event. Repeat this procedure for the bike to run the input and output. Organize your equipment (helmet, goggles, socks, etc.) in to use in a. If you can heat water to check for weeds and stones are not surprised.
T1: Swim-a-Bike
Finish swimming, more difficult to heat kicking legs. Running out of water, let it go if you are dizzy. Start off your wetsuit as you run, unzip the suit to the waist While running, remove the glasses and hat next. In the transition area to finish removing your wetsuit. If your shoes are not on the bike and put them in together with, sunglasses, and helmet. Before taking your bike on the rack, make sure your helmet is guaranteed.
Running out of T1 the bike should be on your right, so the ring is the chain away from your body. The celebration of the bicycle by the seat instead of handlebars can run faster and are in a position vertical. Practice this before the event for which you are sure that the direction of this position. Once you have crossed the line to mount the bike. If your shoes are on the bike, pick up some speed before lowering the feet in your shoes. Top of the drink when you bike instead of in the transition zone.
T2: Bike-to-Run
Eat a little gel and drink as much liquid as possible, and to end the bike instead of spending time in the transition zone to do this. The change of a gear easier and increasing the frequency that will improve your leg speed for the race. Stretch your legs at the foot pedal is also used for them is also good to do some foot pedal to stretch this also be used to support the weight of the body. Remove the left side, away from the chain ring. Rack your bicycle before unfastening your helmet. Remove the helmet, putting on shoes, socks, hat, if you use one, and their race numbers. Number of ribbons and laces lock that this faster.
Bike-to-Run is the most important step in practice. Get off the bike and start racing will make your legs feel as rubber, because while cycling focuses on the quadriceps running focuses on the hamstrings. It may take several hundred yards to a mile or two to the legs to adjust. Adding Bricks Training in training is the best way to decrease the amount of time it takes to adjust their legs because they involve the same challenge to run immediately after received from the bicycle he will face in the actual race. For example, try to fifteen minutes of cycling followed by five minutes of running and repeat 2-3 times on the basis of their level fitness.
