Subject: sorry for the bizarre first question!!?

Hi, I've just recently (days ago) joined BT and found your thread and I'm doing the Title 9 Tri this Sunday.  I enjoyed reading some of your discussion and really wish I'd stumbled upon it earlier as I would have loved to join in on some of the group training you did.  I wish you all well on Sunday--the weather's not looking too good I'm afraid! 

My question is this:  I'm wearing a tri suit for the race, no wet wuit.  And I wondered if any of you know what generally people wear under them, if anything?!  I need a pretty supportive sports bra, so I've tried wearing one under it, but my concern is that a wet sports bra will feel pretty gross during the bike and/or run.  I also wondered about underwear for the same reason.  THe tri suit fabric dries really quickly...  and I suppose a wicking work-out panty underneath would do the same. 

I've trained with the suit on, with and without under"stuff" and I can't decide what to do.  Just wondering if anyone has a good plan.  Maybe I should be obsessing on something a bit more important at this point...

Wear a good wicking sports bra underneath and that is it....nothing on the bottom.

I worried about how my feet would be dirty and how it would be to be wet on the bike, I was surprised in my first race and every one since that once you are racing all those little details disappear and you just go as fast as you can and have a blast.

Mav has done the course in a race and trains there a lot. She can help you with any detailed questions about the race.

Thank you both!  I just got a better wicking sports bra so I'm set.  Now if I could just get rid of this cold I seem to have developed!  So annoying, I haven't been sick in months and months and I have to get a cold NOW!  Oh well, I'm determined to sniffle and cough my way through it if I have to.   Good luck everyone on Sunday!
