The Transition

The transition point is not the time to slow down, at least not for more than a few seconds. Here, tempers flare, drinks fall and everyone is in a rush to get in and out. "Unzip your wetsuit while you run to the transition area," says Houston. "The clothes underneath will dry fast once you start biking."
