What is T2 (Transition 2) in Cycling?
T2 (Transition 2) is a term commonly used in cycling, especially in triathlons and duathlons. It refers to the second transition period, which is the time taken to move from the swimming or running leg of the event to the cycling leg.
T2 is an extremely important part of the race, as it can make or break the cyclist’s performance. During the transition period, the cyclist must change into their cycling gear, mount the bike, and begin the cycling leg of the race. The faster the transition is completed, the better the cyclist’s performance will be.
Statistics show that the average T2 time for a professional cyclist is around 2 minutes. However, amateur cyclists can take up to 4 minutes to complete their transition. Therefore, it is important for amateur cyclists to practice their transition times in order to improve their overall race performance.
