Subject: RE: First Triathlon Gear you dont even necessarily need the tri outfit period for your first,depending on distance.
I did my first one in my swim jammers and then threw a shirt on for the run, it was sprint distance.
In all honesty, if this is your first race, and your not sure if your going to stick with tri's, a pair of swim jammers, goggles, a shirt, and hat are all you need, along with bike and helmet and running shoes.
Wear the jammers for the swim, then bike with or without shirt (i did without so i could dry off before run and to save time ) then throw your shirt on for the run if you want.
If you decide to get into tri's, a one piece is usually worn for Oly's or less, although some wear them for HIm's or IM's. two piece suit is usually the way to go for HIM's or greater.
people wear their wetsuit with outfit underneath. peel off wetsuit, get on bike-go.
