Transitions
The sport of triathlon has become wildly popular, attracting people from all age groups and levels of ability to participate in this three-stage event of swimming, bicycling, and running. Many fail to give much thought to the two other timed sessions of the sport, however — the swim-bike transition and the bike-run transition (T1 and T2, respectively).
Races can be won or lost on the basis of handling these transitions successfully.
