Triathlon is a struggle of seconds. Many of you reading this
probably devote hours, early mornings, and countless calories towards becoming
just a few seconds faster. So it stands to reason that an opportunity to save minutes would suit most any triathlete’s
fancy. When I asked my colleague and pro triathlete, Jack Bracconier, what I
could do with this blog to help make my multisport readers faster, he did not
hesitate to say transition.

So many athletes, of every ilk or specialty, myself
included, train incredibly hard only to overlook simple logistical factors that
can really affect their race results. Transition is a major logistical detail
for multisport athletes, and is an area of the race often ripe for improvement.
These improvements can save minutes without hours of training; just a well
thought out approach and a little practice can change your transitions from a
weakness to a strength—an opportunity to gain significant time on those who
choose to leave transition as an afterthought.
