I'm a beginner and have an Olympic distance tri coming up next week
(Chicago/Accenture) and I'm looking for advice on clothing--what
to wear on each leg.
My first Tri earlier this summer was a sprint, and I didn't need a
wetsuit. I did the the swim in my casual swimsuit (nylon shell shorts
and mesh liner), then did the bike and run without changing anything
except putting on socks, shoes and shirt. Worked OK, a little chafing.
I think I want to get more specific and comfortable next time. I will
be using a wetsuit, but not bike shoes.
So... what is your progression of gear/clothing for olympic distance?
-What do you wear under your wetsuit
-Do you wear bike shorts
-What do you wear while running (do you run in bike shorts? guys, do
you wear a jock?)
-Any other tips?
Thank you for your advice,
Max
