Transitions Area Clinics!

Transitions are all about simplicity but you must master some basic skills such as planning your layout, mounting on the fly, proper dismount, running blister free, run belts, flying ice, and developing a bag of tricks that you can call your own. I will help you cut "minutes" off of your sprint, international, and 70.3 races. For those of you who are interested in Xterra Triathlon, I will present some additional info that will make your experience a success!
