RELATED: The Best Triathlon Bikes, Updated for 2022 Even when you’re not racing, the best transition bag for you can help keep everything organized and dry as you go about your training day. Sure, on race day, it’s great to be organized and have a spot for everything, but it can also mean the difference between remembering every single little bit you need and riding into T2 only to find one running shoe waiting for you. We need to be able to swim, bike, run, and do all of the other little things that make us faster and keep us from getting injured-and that’s just in the first few days of a training week! With all of those activities and all of that gear, a good transition bag can make all of the difference in the world. Decathlon Aptonia Triathlon Transition Bag.
