You got it. I wear my tri shorts and shirt under my wetsuit and no socks on the bike. So at T1 I just take off my wetsuit and go. At T2 I put on socks and a number belt and run in the same outfit. I use tri short which don't have as big of a chamois as cycling shorts so they dry out faster.
Oh, I also grab a hat at T2 for the sun.

Not much difference between transitions for an Oly and a 1/2.
Wear tri shorts and shirt under the wetsuit. Some Pam around the ankles and wrists to help taking it off. I go sockless on the bike.
Use a race belt for the number.
For the 1/2 make sure you have your gels etc on the bike or ready to place in your pockets.
For T2 just throw on your running shoes - I typically go sockless on the run - uses yankz or some other speed laces grab any more nutrition that you need for the run grab a hat and Go!

Hello everyone,
Can some of you guys please share your experience with transitions and what to wear on a half ironman race? I have experience with olys and tris but not with halves so that's the reason of my question.
Say you get off the water on a wettie, what would you be wearing underneath it? Cycling knicks and a top? What about T2, just put the shoes on and run on cycling knicks?? What do you guys usually do??
Thanks,
