Racers will go to Transition twice in between sections. The first time is between the swim and bike portions, this is called T1. The second time is between biking and running and called T2. In transition, racers have a designated space for their bike that is labeled based on their bib number. Prior to the race, racers will go into transition to set up their area. They should leave with only their swim gear (shoes should stay with their bike except in Bethesda).

T1: Swim to bike transition
At this transition, racers will come in wet and need to quickly towel off and get shoes on (if not done previously at a shoe station). They should also put on their race shirt with bib number and helmet. Once the helmet is buckled, they can walk their bike out of transition to the “mount line” to start the bike.

T2: Bike to run transition
This transition is quick. Racers are literally parking their bikes in their same designated spot, dropping their helmets, and heading out for the run.

Volunteers will be on hand to help racers with their helmets and shoes if needed.

These sessions occur during packet pickup near the transition zone.
