Hello All,

I am new to this forum and I spent some time last week scouring for information. I wanted to send some thanks out to whomever it was who posted the detailed explanation on how to get in and out of your shoes while they are clipped into the pedals.

In being a well-prepared and practiced athlete I started experimenting with different rubber bands on Saturday night in preparation for the L.A. Triathlon on Sunday. Even so, I made it seamlessly out of T1 and in to T2 with both shoes still on the pedals. This technique was really helpful since I have Speedplay pedals and walking is difficult, running is downright silly.

And just to rant for a moment: since when are there hills in downtown L.A.?

I used a rubber band that was just a little too strong. At about mile 3 on the bike, I heard a snap and a sharp sting on the back of my leg. Good job finishing L.A. - a tough/hot course.
