2014 Ironman Kona World Championships 1/4 through the bike, Meredith Kessler heads to Hawi on her Boardman TT bike. Careful consideration is needed in transition in hot environments to generously apply suntan lotion and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. The XLAB Torpedo is necessary in triathlon racing along with Red Bull.

You can’t be successful in transitions and in triathlon in general if your equipment is not up to par. Meredith Kessler uses many trusted mechanics through years of vetting to work on her trusty Boardman Bike machine. This is not her core competency so she lets the pros handle these complex machines; some of the bikes these days are more expensive than cars and nearing the complexity of advanced machinery! If athletics are your business, trust certain aspects of your company to the professionals because it does not pay to have a mechanical during the race, in transition, or before the race even begins!

Meredith Kessler, bike and run The Art of the Transition:  true to form from the first stroke of the swim Kessler left the rest of the women in her wake. With a brutal swim leg Kessler exited the water in front and Running into T2 Kessler’s bike shoes kept clipping the ground causing an unhappy reaction wither bike. Kessler kept her head and picked the bike up and ran with it into T2. Once there she showed great poise to calmly put her socks and runners on and then exited with her house in order. The last act in this play was a simple measure of Kessler delivering on her pre race favoritism.  Source:  http://firstoffthebike.com/all-articles/

Any tips for a fast transition? You’ll want to use a colorful towel or triathlon mat to clearly mark your spot in the crowded transition area. For the swim-bike transition (T1), start pulling down your wetsuit and remove your cap and goggles as you run to transition. Before the race, unbuckle your helmet strap and prop it on top of your bike handlebars with your sunglasses inside; also make sure that the Velcro straps to your cycling shoes are free. For the bike-run transition (T2), have your running shoes (with race laces), racing belt, any nutritional drinks, gels or blocks and a hat (if you use one) laid out on the towel for a quick grab-and-go. Put on the belt as you run out of transition (or before the bike leg if the race requires it). Meredith Kessler has tried to duplicate

Amazing race run by USA's Meredith Kessler.  Kessler clearly demonstrates the ability to bike and run at the transition points.
