We would like to share with you the some useful tips for your next Sprint Xel-Há Triathlon 2010.

  

1. Make a check-list and try visualizing everything you will wear.

2. Use a towel to place your personal belonging at the transition zone.

SWIMMING 

3. Use your goggles and cap, and if the water is cold they will allow you to use wetsuit.

4. Don’t forget to use Vaseline or Glide around your neck.

5. Use biodegradable waterproof sunblock. When you are out of the water put some more on. Been exposed to the sun so many hours can provoke serious burns. Remember not to place in on your forehead or else when you sweat it will drip into your eyes.

CYCLING

6. Take you bicycle for a check-up. Before the race, ask your mechanic to show you how to change a tire.

7. The helmet must be adjusted correctly so it doesn’t move.

8. You can place your shoes on the bicycle pedals.

9. Don’t forget your sunglasses.

10. In your tool bag always carry a pump, tire levels, spare tubes, CO2 systems and repair kits.

RUNNING 

11. Use elastic laces on your tennis shoes. These can save you time.

12. Don’t forget a hat for the sun and your race number so don’t get disqualified.
