Racing Tip - Racing Number Strategies

Speeding up your transition is considered "free time". It takes almost no training; just smarts. Let's look at a familiar culprit - the racing number.
- Use a race belt already. Safety pinning it to your shirt has NOOB written all over it.
- Put it on before the race, adjust it to where you like, then step out of it without undoing the buckle. When you come out of the water, you can slide it right on without fiddling with clips.
- Crumple the race number and then flatten it out. The wrinkles prevent it from flapping in the wind and irritating the hell out of you.
- I place mine in my helmet or across my shoes. Doing so keeps me from forgetting it. Placing things in your way is a strategy many people use to remember important things. For example, if you have something you don't want to forget on your way out the door in the morning, put in in the way of the door so that you have to move it to open the door. Also, don't put things on top of your car. Put them on the hood. They'll be right in your line of sight so you don't drive off without them.
