Weet-Bix Tryathlon Transition Tips

Transition Tips

The most unfamiliar part of TRYathlon is the transition between legs. This is where you need to go from swim to bike and bike to run. For the Splash & Dash event, you will go from swim straight onto the run.

It is important to practice the transitions beforehand to get your body used to doing a different activity straight away as it uses different muscles and you’ll need to practice getting changed into the right clothing for the next leg.

Practicing the transitions will improve the chances that it will all go smoothly on the day.

TRYathlon Tips

Transition 1: Swim to Bike

For the swim to bike you could practice this at the swimming pool or beach, or you could even try this at home, by running around under the sprinkler, drying yourself and then then putting your biking clothes on.

Transition 2: Bike to Run

For the bike to run you could try biking for a few minutes and then go straight to running off the bike. Sometime when you hop off your bike and start running your legs can feel a bit like jelly!

You should get used to drying yourself, putting your shoes and helmet on and getting on and off your bike. Remember to practice in fully closed shoes so you get used to putting them on in Transition on the event day.
