T1 : Swim-to-bike transition
IntensityThe transition zone where you go from swim to bike: remove wetsuit, put on helmet, clip in shoes.
T1 is the first of two transitions. It starts at the swim exit and ends when you cross the bike mount line. Classic mistakes: wasting time removing the wetsuit (practice solo beforehand), forgetting the helmet before shoes (possible penalty), or going out too hard from T1 and blowing up on the bike.
