🤭T1 is bike lol and T2 is run 🤭 at the .41 second mark she said T1 is running just a heads up guys 😁 Hope you have a great weekend and keep making these videos. First 70.3 Ironman in a couple days and thanks to you guys I feel confident with no coach going into it so thank you.
Good, basic vid. Note: you don't need to plan a flying mount to want your shoes on the bike. Many if not most people put the shoes on the bike but get on a bike "statically" rather than jumping on it. Makes putting feet in the shoes fiddlier than with a flying mount, but the key is not to run in the bike shoes.
If a race uses bags, are you supposed to put your belongings back into your bag after the change? I mean you put your wetsuit off and put your helmet and shoes on. Where do you put the wetsuit? Back to your transition bag?
I have beginner's questions. Are there clothes changing areas at the transition areas or do you have to get on the bike with wet bike shorts? Do you wear in layers all your clothes for the whole race?
Great question. This really down to personal preference, you can get change in a designated tent if you wish - this will be at most long distance events, in a short course triathlon this will slow you down so something like a tri suit would help, you'd be wet on the bike for a bit - again this is all down to personal preference!
Do longer distance triathletes put on socks for the run? Blisters are a fact of life for me in a sprint race and I just run through it, but I imagine that it would certainly be worth the time to put on socks before a marathon.
If you’re willing to lose a minute or so in transition which I am, cause I'm no pro and want my feet protected and as blister free as possible, then I recommend you try running in socks called Injinjis. They are very thin and cover each toe. Took me a few runs to get used to them but afterwards i’ve had zero rubbing of toes issues, or blisters.

Given that there hasn't been any scientific evidence that clipless is faster than flats or clips, wouldn't you save a lot of time by cycling in your running shoes? Especially in shorter races.
I ride flat pedals to and from work every day and clipless when training and racing and I definitely feel more efficient and faster in clipless. Aside from that, road racing is different than Triathlon because of the fact that you have to run after the bike portion; clipless allow you to utilize more muscle groups, flat pedals cause you to use more of your quads, which should be saved as much as possible for the run. I think there are some very good reasons that cause every pro on Earth to use clipless.
You're referring to studies that have seen no athletic improvement of flats vs clipless. Clipless help with a lot of other things while biking though. Main purpose being: to keep your foot on the pedal. Combined with racing shoes that have a stiff sole that will assist in the power delivery. With soft running shoes on flats you are introducing additional fatigue factors to the feet and lower legs which you need in the run.
The argument that clips offer no efficiency advantage over flats is bogus! I can easily prove that I'm faster and have greater endurance using clips because I can supplement my stroke by pulling while climbing hills. It allows me to reduce my force on the push part of the stroke yet increase the total power. If I'm only pushing down on the pedals while climbing, I may sustain an output of 300 watts during a moderate climb. When I add pulling, I can increase my output to 400 watts and hold that power with very little perceived difference in effort. If I'm beginning to tire while riding on a level road, I can begin to add intervals where I supplement my push stroke with brief periods of pulling. It enables me to sustain a higher power level for a longer duration. And if you talk to any professional sprinter, they'll tell you that they wouldn't be able to generate nearly as much power if they couldn't pull as well as push the pedals. There are huge advantages to attaching your shoe to your pedals. I don't know what conditions were used during these "scientific" studies but my power meter and my data over tens of thousands of miles say otherwise! Being clipped to your pedals offers enormous advantages if you know how to use them.

Once I forgot my shoes on a 70.3 race, so I run the halfmarathon barefoot. It was not fun :D
rap clinfilm around your seatpost for your bike number so when you remove it from your bike it will not leave sticky glue on your bike

Hi GTN: Here's a topic for a howto: How to set up your bike shoes for flying mount.

i was hoping for the kona vlog, is there one? Just want a athletes perspective of the kona race. :)

Heather's vlog will be coming this weekend! Watch this space.

You have to put your wetsuit in the T1 bike bag after you've put everything you need on you.
I have beginner's questions. Are there clothes changing areas at the transition areas or do you have to get on the bike with wet bike shorts? Do you wear in layers all your clothes for the whole race?

Heather you said the run Is second and the bike is last???
Ooops, well spotted mistake! Don't worry Heather got it right on race day.

Less stuff in the bag, the better. Keep it simple
Which transition are you quicker in, T1 or T2? Let us know in the comments below 👇
Global Triathlon Network t1 if it's running like you said 😄
depends on if I man down and finally buy a wetsuit
T2 ❤️🏃♀️
T2 diffinitely
If wetsuit legal I like wearing the belt/number under it. One less thing to do.
Nice idea Bretzky!

Laurens Van Rossem or you could use speedplay pedals and run with your shoes into T1. I don't do that but you could

why is she wearing sunglasses during the video? Has she got bags under her eyes or something?
