Like many who have used this forum I am attempting my first triathlon (sprint) in April. My only concern is the transition stages as I have never seen this part of a race. Would applying talc to my never regions after towelling dry be too much!!!!!
Has any got any hints/'techniques' they would like to share.

No - do not apply talc!
Do not towel yourself dry!
Do not get changed!
Do not wear socks!
Wear the same thing for each discipline, preferably a trisuit (one or two piece), but if you don't want to fork out then just a pair of shorts. You can throw on a t-shirt in T1 if you don;t have a tri vest.
Plan and visualize your transition, and keep it very, very simple.
This is my routine:
T1: Helmet, shoes, glasses, go.
T2: Helmet off, shoes on, go.
Why make it harder than it needs to be? [:)]
Good luck
You've given me some useful pointers.
wish me luck!!
Does anyone else suffer from looking like lynford christy in a tri suit??
Ultimately, do what ever makes you feel right. race yourself ,do your best under YOUR conditions.
most dont have the bottle to do it! your in the minority, thats something to be proub of.
At my last Tri several people had buckets of water at their station- it was a beach swim and we had to run over sand and dirt after the swim- so feet in bucket then on towel and into shoes- sand and grit can play havoc on tender skin!!
Hope this helps[:D]
Bring it on[:)]
