Transition Practice & a New Bike...

ED. Tiffany Kari Cizmas sent us these words about her return to triathlon and her likely nomination for 2024 Master of the Year: 

So here’s my secret as yes I’ve been out of the scene for some time!

After focusing on the marathon for many years I’ve found I really love triathlon and so missed the community! I started mountain bike racing last year and was shocked to find out how much it helped my overall bike fitness! With worlds going so well last year I decided to start working on my swim & bike more. Joined a masters program on Oct 2023. Dropped about 3 minutes off my time. Kept on mountain biking. Did more races this year. Upgraded my 2010 Tri bike (new bike a month ago). Practiced transitions for the first time....

 I can now get on and off my bike with shoes left on the bike (saved me about 90 seconds)! Just trying to maintain my run. Might be a tich faster but at my age I need 3 weeks recovery or more so run paces are all over the place.

Heading back to Worlds in 3 weeks. Hoping that race will truly reflect the work I’ve put in as I’ll finally have a true taper going in and a good season behind me.
