Transition Training

IRONMAN 70.3 SWITZERLAND, Rapperswil-Jona, Start + Ziel / Start Area + Finish Area

I never thought about to train the transition. However, in the literature I found several advices to train transitions. One reference stated even to train 8 transitions at a time. Today I just could make two "mini"-triathlons with all the transitions in between. It is quite exhausting.

webster says about "tran·si·tion": Etymology: Latin from transire = go over

a : passage from one state, stage, subject, or place to another : CHANGE

b : a movement, development, or evolution from one form, stage, or style to another

Lessons learned:

* prepare for rain (bike shoes, cloths, etc.)

* pre-roll socks already to slip in more easily

* train to slip in the bike-shoes

* get better shoe-lifts for the bike shoes

* use socks for the running shoes!
