Tri shoes on bike for T1

Not a long post here. Just wanted to say I’m pretty proud of myself for learning how to get in and out of my tri shoes with the shoes still on the bike. I had a successful practice time today doing both. It’s not the fastest or the prettiest, but I’m definitely going to start the bike route with my shoes on the bike for next weekend’s race.

As I started this transition practice, I was kinda scared, but after you actually start pedaling on top of the shoes, it’s actually not that difficult to slip your feet right into the shoe as you ride. I’m going to practice again next weekend before the race, but with rubber bands to hold the shoes in place. The rubber bands break off once you begin pedaling.
