Subject: RE: IM Clothes Question For Veterans. . .Changing clothes is really a personal preference. I wore the same tri shorts/top combo throughout all of IMWI last year and was very happy with it.
I have seen some people swap out shorts in each transition: jammers for the swim, bike shorts w/ a thick pad for the bike, and running shorts for the marathon. Most importantly, if you haven't been training in different outfits, don't do it for the first time on race day. If you've been training for your brick runs by changing from bike shorts to run shorts, then do that in the race. If you have been doing your brick runs in the same shorts you bike in, plan to do that in the race. Also, be aware of what ever pockets you may need for each stage and plan your wardrobe accordingly.
