Member 58 Connecticut | Subject: Tri top under wetsuit or just throw it on before the bike. I did some wetsuit swim training for my race in two weeks last night and wore my tri top underneath the suit to make sure there wasn't any weird rubbing or anything. Question is: Do you wear your tri top under your wetsuit (obviously this is a two piece tri suit question)? Is there a reason why you do or do not wear it during the swim? To me, it seems like a wet tri top would help body temp during the first part of the bike, I guess that is assuming the air is hot - just like to hear everyones thoughts on this. Thanks |

You won't notice a thing in the water. What you will notice is 50 people having a faster T1 because you are squirming around trying to get your dang tri top on. |

Thanks I would just wear it. That stated, does the tri top have a zippered front? If so, you can step into it and pull it up as opposed to trying to put it on over your head and pulling down onto your wet body. Think how a woman puts on a dress. |
