Subject: RE: Salt water swim Originally posted by timbergreg hey all- normally I compete in fresh water triathlons and just wear my Tri shorts for the entire event. I have IM France coming up with the swim in the Med. I plan on wearing tri shorts under my wetsuit. Should I switch to a different pair of tri shorts in T1 to avoid chafing? Some recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks! I don't see a need to, if you are used to doing an IM in tri shorts. Although I've changed from jammers to tri shorts and /or bike shorts in my IMs. You might want to pay attention to where to lube as salt water will cause a bit more chafing where skin meets skin or rubber. |
