 Nike T-Speed
If this is really, really important to you, the solution is practice,
practice, practice - both on a trainer and on the road.
BUT - do you really save any time by being pre-clipped? How long does it
take you to slip on your (non-pre-clipped) cycling shoes in T1? If you save
more than a few seconds, I'd be surprised, and unless you're in danger of
winning your AG by a couple of seconds, it simply isn't worth the hassle.
I've seen more folks struggling, bent over their bike, barely moving out of
transition, weaving in the road and blocking other athletes, as they try to
get their feet into the shoes and fasten them - all for the sake of, what, a
few seconds or looking cool? ;-) I've actually seen folks crash attempting
this, and have even seen a couple of athletes penalized by officials for
creating a hazard to other competitors as they go through the machinations
of trying to do it.
