Frequently asked questions
How do I get faster at transitions?
Practise at home: wet-suit removal, elastic-lace shoes, running with a bike helmet on. Lay your kit out in a consistent order. Even 2-3 practice sessions dramatically cuts your transition time.
Why is T1 usually slower than T2?
T1 involves the wetsuit, which takes time to remove. T2 is simpler — rack bike, swap shoes and go. Some triathletes use elastic laces and leave shoes clipped to the pedals to speed up both transitions.
