Champion  17756      SoCal |  Subject: More noob transition questionsNext Sunday is my first Tri and I have a few questions for the fine folks here. To let you guys know this is a reverse sprint and I have no real Tri specific attire and I will be on a mountain bike. |

Master 1853 syracuse | Subject: RE: More noob transition questions less is more. the more you can eliminate from transitions the better. you'll be more than fine with sneakers and you'll be faster than those with clipless pedals. |

Veteran 239 Kalispell, MT | Subject: RE: More noob transition questions reverse tri means Run Bike Swim? Sounds like you'll have a fast T1  Yep, less is more, your running shoes will be fine on the bike, don't over think it, you'll do fine. Advice: have TWO pair of goggles in your bag - it sucks to go to swim and have a lost/broken pair etc.... trust me... Good Luck, and Have Fun!! |

Veteran 249 , Arizona | Subject: RE: More noob transition questions Remember that anytime you're handling your bike you should have you helmet on and buckled. On my first one, I made the mistake of unbuckling my helmet as I was running my bike back to the rack after I had dismounted. Essentially, anytime you are touching your bike, you should have your helmet on and buckled. |

Pro 3804 Seacoast, NH! | Subject: RE: More noob transition questions Does someone have a link to the rules for USAT. Either I'm challenged, or the website isn't exactly intuitive. I went through my first sprint last weekend with no problems, but it would be smart to read up on the rules. |
