transitions

Yo Dawgs--
Sarah mentioned transitions in her last post....yeaaaaaaaaah, I'd definitely recommend doing at least one "transition" trial b/f the actual race. It's easy to do--you can set up your spot in the front yard or in your garage, at your car--really wherever you want. It's a great way to just make sure you've thought of everything you'll need......like those quick-tie laces for your running shoes! I didn't have those in my first race this year and it sucked major time. And the whole outfit thing--you guys won't be wearing wetsuits, right? Hopefully you have or have rigged a good "outfit" for all three legs. Oh yeah, and don't forget the race belt...no need to deal with safety pins. I don't know how much you guys plan on eating during the bike, but the "Bento Box" is awesome for storing your bars/gels/pb&j sandwiches on the bike--easy access and you don't have to tape all that stuff to your bike. You can order the bento boxes at the back of "Triathlete Magazine". That's all I can think of for now...you guys are so close to race day, I'm so excited for you! Butts shall be kicked (other peoples', not yours) and you'll have a blast:) Happy training...
