Transition is a lot of Art and a little bit of Science. Are you doing yours right to help you get some free speed? Here are some pointers….
First K.I.S.S. – Keep It Simply Simple. Don’t have a whole bunch of gear you don’t need and set it up with what you need first in the front. Use a towel next to and close to your bike to claim your transition space and stay on it.
