great vid.. i really need this :)

[csariedd]

I personally prefer the non-conservative method on T2, I've had bad experience with shoe going off and nearly fell (effect of clipless pedals). the other intersting part is dragging the bike to the mount, the shoes could get out, so u need to think about the pedal position when dismounting on T2.

awesome!!! how do you put your shoes on while biking??im so afraid im not gonna finisg my first one..... any last minute advice??Last week I saw a new movie, “Discover the Gift”, which talks about being true to yourself and do whatever you do best giving 100% all the time. I loved it! facebook. com/discoverthegift

[TheNiedraFour]

@ironmanc5 You didn't use your wetsuit for a year after your race?



[master716248]

best thing for swimmers is CITRUAID, recommended by gold medalist in swimming Sheila Taormina

[theserenos]

[sajmsa]

[iamgeradm]

[streetsNY]

Thanks

Ironman is a tough competition but the real challenge should be 1. biking 2 running 3 swimming That should be the harder order of event

[jeromed2]

Long distance swimmers don't wear a wetsuit...it should be the same in triathlon...I know they put blubber on their skin and it would be difficult to take off before the bike part in triathlon. I guess it's faster to take off the wetsuit..lol:) But it's a bit easier to swim with a wetsuit, it makes you float.

[boogaman1337]

Cheers for that buddy! Simple things you just want to practice before a race. I will be watching this again before my first Tri in august!

[ponchoso]

Ugh... 

[evb4mvp]

great video, really helpeed me with my transition. just two things with the swim to bike transition, my goggles never stay in the sleeve always fall out and two i find it so much easier to take the wetsuit off when your still wet.

[tmdavinci]

[eyeojo]

[rbonilla18]

next he will show them how to use their dicks.

[eab1974]

great video. Thanks guys!

[beauch]

Best way to teach someone:

By example, with no ego, and he shows you over and over again.

Brilliant.

[indusrtial]

the flying squirrel? Um that's just your regular mount for cross. Most of this is common sense and I don't even do tri's.

[hpeterson]

@JD Ironman triathletes say "I can," because if u want it bad enough you will do what it takes to get it. If u want to do any distance triathlon you will make the sacrafice all triathletes have to make it happen. No matter what shape you're in, you can do it!

[justinperry1]

Practing these trasitions over and over is as we know one of the great ways to make up for lost time. Thanks for the video.

[yamting01]

great video! i like how he dismount his feet on his clits. thanks coach sorensen!

[trimantotherescue]

Not a bad video but I disagree with the big ring comment. Sure your chain runs the risk of coming off if your bike is bouncing in transition BUT if you have it on the big ring it is harder to get started, especially for beginners. What you'll end up with is a bunch of beginners barely moving because their in the big ring all trying to put their shoes on while on the bike, off balance and going 5 mph. Unless there are craters in Transition small ring with shoes on in Transition for beginners.

[HDjason1080P]

You sound like you know what you are talking about!! how many tri's have you been in???  Which event is your favorite? I would love to try one, but I feel that I could never get into good enough shape!!!!

[xxbondsxx]

i had a 12 minute transition time and still won the CAF half ironman, but yeah i needed this advice :D

[carbon4me]

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[armchairsessions]

Great Vid! Check out Tim Don advise on how to nail a seamless transition on the armchair sessions youtube channel...

[midaztouch]

Great tips, especially for a beginner like me. However, before mounting or dismounting with shoes on bike, make sure that the straps on your bike shoes open AWAY from the drive train. Mine open towards the drive train. Not sure if that precludes the option of shoes on bike mounts/dismounts but when I tried it on the trainer, it didn't sound good. It seems like the right shoe straps could get caught in the gears. Tri-specific shoes correct this. Wish I knew before I bought them.

[brazilguy08]

Great post!  Thanks!

[dragonquest20]

ich schafft es nicht

[okukok]

he's well patronising! i don't start with my shoes on the bike, i clip in in the mounting area, doesn't really seem to slow me down compared to guys who do..

[flamesfana]

thanks to the person who post that, it really help me through the transition !!!

[geekums]

Thank you so much! I seriously needed the wetsuit help- that thing is still so weird for me.

[hailari0us]

excellent tips. i've watched this video several times before my tri and then practiced it many times. my transitions now are very quick. thank you, you are very informative

[Shrilliam]

Just did a triathlon today...hard didnt place out of my group, i had clip on and i had a struggle getting my shoes on and off for my running shoes

[trichick369]

[jtcavers]

What and awesome video! I have been searching for an instructional transition video like this for a long time. This was EXACTLY what I wanted to see.
