I am in the process of putting up another post on my blog that will encompass everything  you should expect and have with you for your transitions. It will cover any and every question that you could have about Transitions: The Fourth Discipline. Check within the next day or two and I will have it up. Although if this is your first sprint triathlon you NEED to be prepare for your mass open water start. As this is something that most of us have never experienced before, it is not the same as pool swimming and/or swimming open water alone. I highly recommend that you read that article.
