It's all in the transition... or is it?

Ok.. so its not ALL in the transition. You still have to Swim, Bike and Run -- but a good, (FAST), transition never hurts in the 2006 Vytra-Tobay Triathlon & Tri Relay.

But, before you can get to the transition you have to get out of the water. Is this part Swim or Transition? Mike's not sure, he's just running!

Don's approaching in perfect transition form but from here it takes teamwork.

Husband and wife team, Don and Ellie show some excellent Transition Teamwork in switching the chip from bike to run. Mike, the Swimmer on this Second Place 2006 Team (up from Third Place in 2005) does what he does best... he stays out of the way and takes a few pictures!
