hi,

i am doing my first ever tri tomorrow and am wearing a "john" wetsuit.   what should wear/not wear under it?

also should i put on a long sleeve bike top since i whatever i have on under the wetsuit will be wet ?   the bike course is extremely hilly with some very steep downhills!    thanks  tg

My standard equipment for just about any race is to wear whatever I'm going to wear on the bike (clothing-wise) under the wetsuit. Meaning I don't try to put on anything else in T1 (no tights, arm warmers, shirt, etc). It just takes a LOT of time to put that stuff on over a wet body. But then again, if it's going to be REALLY cold... Might be a consideration. If you're going to put on a long-sleeved top in T1, then don't bother putting on a tri top under the wetsuit. If you're going to swap to something short-sleeved or a singlet for the run, you can put it ON while you're moving out of T2.

Hope that helps.
