Regarding The Triathlon Bag And Your Performance

The big inquiry is do you have the correct triathlon bag? Accept as true it or not there some people carry their gear on race day in 5 gallon buckets. They obviously don't take racing seriously. Sure we are here to have fun, but if we are not providing the energy to continuously get better, what fun is that?

Receiving respectable times in T1 and T2 is very important to a good race performance. It doesn't matter if you are a pro ir racing just for fun. If you are not 'TRI'ing' your hardest, why even race? For good transition times you need a quality triathlon bag.

A good triathlon bag will have all types of cool features. It will have plenty of pockets specifically intended for your equipment (helmet, shoes, wetsuit, glasses, racebelt, bars, gels, water bottles... ect). An additional central feature is the capacity to open up so you can have a 'transition bench' (sort of). As well your triathlon bag ought to have a seperate fold out mat for sitting and kneeling on.

Having all these separate compartments is important for many reasons - here's 3 big ones:
1. Getting organized the night before will relieve ALOT of stress.
2. Having an easy and comfortable way to transport your gear to and from the race takes the 'Chore' out of race day.
3. Setting up your transition spot by unfolding a good triathlon bag so all your gear is just where and how you need it when you need it WILL improve your transition time.

These are just a few of the many reasons why it is smart to include a quality triathlon bag as part of your necessary equipment. Not to mention that your day by day training calendar gets so much easier.

It actually is a discredit to put so much consideration into your shoes, saddle, tri-suit... even water bottles and then lug around all that gear in a bucket!? The significance of a triathlon bag can't be unnoticed if you want to continue to get better. Even if you are merely racing beside yourself. If you are available to do this, shouldn't you go all out and observe how far you can go and how much enjoyment you can have?
