Master  2158   |  Subject: Tri Tops???hey all, So, I am working on speeding up my T1 and I notice that it takes me a fair bit of time to get my shirt on when I am wet. All the tri's I have done have not been wetsuit legal and I usually swim with just my tri shorts or spandex. However, I like to wear a shirt on the bike and run. Are tri-tops and tri-singlets the same thing? Are they meant to be worn as a top during the swim, even without a wetsuit? Not sure I am ready for a full tri suit yet. Thanks for the help. |

Extreme Veteran 398 Denver | Subject: RE: Tri Tops??? wear the tri-top in the water...total waste of time and effort to put it on during T1...I even wear the shirt under my wetsuit without any issues. I think you would have less drag in the water with a one piece tri-suit though |
