TRIATHLON CLINIC
Bellingham Parks & Recreation and TRAIN-
OR-TRI will host a HANDS-ON transition clinic
walking athletes through the rigors of properly
racking their bike in transition, effectively laying
out necessary swim/bike/run gear, zipping in/out of wetsuits to the
water's edge and back into T1 where swim gear is swapped for
bike gear, leaving T1 with bike in tow, re-racking bikes in T2 and
swapping bike gear for run gear prior to leaving T2, and finishing
with a smile. In addition, this clinic will touch on prerace bike
maintenance, bike gear readiness and transition racking strategies,
nutrition loading on bikes, saddlebag preparedness, and how to
meet the mental demands of possible T1 & T2 chaos.
