How can I quickly change clothing during a triathlon?

Changing clothes quickly during a triathlon is essential to save time and stay ahead. Here are some tips:

  1. Practice transitions: Practice the transition from swimming to biking and biking to running multiple times to improve your efficiency.

  2. Wear clothing with quick-release zippers: Choose clothing that features full-length zippers for easy on and off.

  3. Use a wetsuit striper: A wetsuit striper helps you remove your wetsuit quickly and efficiently without tearing it.

  4. Roll and stash clothing: Roll up your biking and running gear and place it in a specific spot on your bike or in a transition bag to minimize fumbling.

  5. Leave shoes untied: Partially lace up your biking and running shoes so you can slip your feet in quickly.

  6. Accessorize strategically: Use a helmet skirt or visor to protect your hair and a race belt to keep your bib and other essentials secure.

  7. Arrive early: Give yourself ample time at the transition area to set up and practice your transitions.
