TRANSITION

Attach your numbered labels from your Race Pack to your kit before entering the transition area. The transition team will check your equipment before you can rack up. Space is limited in transition, boxes are not allowed but a small soft-sided bag is, as long as it does non impede the progress of competitors. There is a bag drop area available for those that need it.

PRACTICE & PLAN

Practice jumping on and off your bike, mounting and dismounting in your shoes, what order you will put on your kit - all to help you save seconds or even minutes!

Take Minimal Kit

Take only the essentials with you to transition, leave everything you won’t need with family or friends (or at home!). Less fuss, minimal stress = quicker transition.

Visualise Your Spot

Transition can often be busy and confusing place on race morning. Look out for something visual near to your kit so it is easier to spot during your race.

Walk Through

Familiarise yourself with the path you will take from swim to bike and out, and then from bike to run to help gain those precious seconds.

Set Up Your Bike

Make sure your bike is set up in the right gear to start your cycle leg.

TALC

A triathlete and multisporters best friend. Use it sparingly on your bike and run shoes to help slip your feet in easier and to reduce the chance of mid-race rubbing.
