[@Tuppunaatio]

this was really useful information at 2AM

[@pastabilly5450]

LOL exactly my situation xD

[@riccardoportelli4065]

same 😂

[@officialharvard751]

Same, and I can’t even ride a bike.

[@uoni01]

Haha.... same here 😀

[@sailingintosunshine]

did that in my first triathlon, but had the shoes switched.... Had to hold on, get off, switch and put them on. Nice griptape btw.

[@GorgieClarissa]

omg you poor thing!!!

[@bass-callbo8434]

Markus Franke lol. One of those storys who last.

[@c0mputer]

Pretty cool. I don't race nor am I in good physical shape but still cool to see the little things people come up with.

[@jamesambrocio]

c0mputer believe me, it's not that hard training for a triathlon. I went from a sinking rock to 1.5km swim in just 1½months. Although running is most primitive sport of the three, it is the most difficult to improve.

[@MrPijus123]

You'll like MTB bodges. Superglue and tape to fix a tube? How about deodorant and mailing tape. Perhaps taping chain links to your brake cables? Straightening brake disks with pliers and brute force? Btw having some weight on yourself is a good thing to start MTBing with. You can have much more control over the bike. I myself am skinny so getting the bike going where I need is a little tricky.

[@chipweather]

@@jamesambrocio i know im late but is there any tips for training for this? im pretty young but i still think i could train

[@TheTamrielDrunkard]

wonderful tip! I wish I would've known this when I did my first triathlon

[@Olympics]

Well, at least you know now! And you can share the info with beginners. 🏊🚴🏃

[@sdstenix2205]

When you are late for school

[@johnvalades2998]

Awesome!! This old guy will practice for Sunday's race...it's only 2 days away:)). Thanks Nicola!

[@nic12344]

And then you get disqualified for not wearing a helmet...

[@Rionugrahaputra]

LOL

[@Paul-xs4rp]

great video! Thanks

[@karstenmeinders4844]

Merci, merci, merci! Jetzt habe den Trick endlich verstanden: Man tritt auf den mit Gummibändern befestigten Schuhen in die Pedale und schlüpft dann "in Ruhe" in die Schuhe, sobald man ordentlich Geschwindigkeit aufgenommen hat. Sobald man rollt, kann man relativ ruhig in die Schuhe hineingleiten, während die Hände die Schuhe fixieren (erst die eine, dann die andere Seite).

[@carlesdelatorre8004]

Fantastic video !!!

[@JanosZakarias]

this is the first time i've seen someone mount the shoes this way, everybody does it the othet way around, right shoe front attached to the front derailleur cage with the elastic band, and left shoe attached to the quick-release skewer at the back.

[@arkhamb]

And that is how anyone can win a triathlon at olympics. Thank you.

[@finneurovision5775]

One of the most unforgettable moments in the Olympics when she finished...

[@HaHa-ij2bg]

Cheyenne Finn Eurovision it should have been draw

[@finneurovision5775]

Kalle Kalle No it was a closer finish than a human hair. It took hours to look who is the winner

[@HaHa-ij2bg]

Cheyenne Finn Eurovision yea but it was so close that it should have been a draw because they are not suposed to go to the thousands of a second

[@tushardeka4683]

Thanks

[@nuevousuario7195]

grasias me sirvio mucho

[@fadhel97]

good tips

[@jamesambrocio]

why haven't I thought of that elastic thingy? That's genius!

[@mauricioluisvega8342]

You do to seems like so easy!

[@ggcapitano]

Same way i get on my bike to work

[@jessesmith-garcia5313]

interesting way to tie the shoes to the bike, definitely makes it easier to get through transition.

[@sapphirecastorwillox7415]

How do you mount that way when the bike moving? Looks a lot easier to do when the bike is static and fixed to a support...

[@edymo9244]

わかりやすな

[@user-wc5vi1nn7e]

oh~ good

[@newsyoucanuse7998]

And then I hit a pole while locking in the second shoe 🚴🏼‍♀️

[@juliaortmann8387]

same happened to me lol

[@yunmungsil6318]

Wow ㄷㄷ

[@tubesockets120v]

Slick.

[@blinzi69]

what if my shoes dont have any laces on the back :-(

[@Timtimzi]

Why do Olympic triathletes not use TT bikes?

[@lukescott4474]

timtimzi ni I've always wondered the same thing

[@vandertony77]

timtimzi ni (I'm french‚ i will try to explain) It's Forbidden‚ in Olympic Triathlon you can follow other man and take suction(drafting?)‚ when you are just behind a men it's more easly... So on TT Bike there is a too big handlebars (extension ? ) It's the rule‚ but in No Olympic triathlon‚ when drafting is forbidden you can use TT bike :p I hope you understand me ;) For more you can check rules it's "the main" rule of the bike

[@TiberiusPaulSavu]

As vandertony77 said, shorter triathlons have draft legal cycling segments, meaning you can run in a bunch, so TT bikes are forbidden for safety reasons (as you obviously can't reach your brake levers in time from the aerobars, and the position is much more difficult to control on TT bikes). The distances being a lot shorter, you don't have the athletes spreading out as much as you would in a 70.3 or a full iron man, so illegal drafting would make the bike segment a lot more difficult to manage.

[@thomasharneshaug4567]

timtimzi ni what's a tt bike

[@vandertony77]

Thomas Harneshaug Time Trial bike‚ look on Google you will see difference beetween tt bike and classic bike

[@rohanfrost515]

👍

[@gijsschoonaard3994]

'geeaa'

[@lilmaryj79]

I don't understand are you supposed to have a regular bike or another bike that is different

[@Ra1ny_3]

早いな〜

[@MR-nz6db]

Im sure straps would be much quicker than shoes

[@benstadler4337]

M. R they aren't though, the bike shoes allow you to get much more power while pedaling

이와중 꺼벨로 실화냐?

[@alexturk6389]

Do you put on socks?

[@lizzsszzy7800]

Typically, they don't use socks. The shoes are designed to be worn without them.

[@fakamatalamai69]

You are Busy not good one ty

[@vandertony77]

Yeah but Triathlon Shoes are expansive ^^

[@OneHuntiBoi]

yeah they expand a lot ;)

[@SL33P-WALK3R]

Why not swim with shoes?😂🤣
