Triathlon Transitions
With about four weeks to go to the London Triathlon, I’m sure that all of your training for the three disciplines is progressing well.

But what about the fourth and fifth disciplines -the dreaded transitions where you change from swim to bike and bike to run? These are both areas that can either cost you or save you a lot of time. With a little practise and organisation you can be out of transition a long time before those who enter transition with you.
