Veteran  355   Lakewood Ranch, Florida |  Subject: 1st Mini SprintI have been training for my 1st sprint at the end of August but i just signed up for a mini sprint with a 400 meter pool swim, 6 mile bike, 2 mile run. I will be doing race in Tri-Shorts and was just looking for some advice from everybody. Do i need Body Glide ??? No wetsuits are permitted. This is my 1st ever event !! Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank You !!! |

| Subject: RE: 1st Mini Sprint You're not going to need a wetsuit with that short a swim unless the water is about 40 degrees. 6 mile bike and 2 mile run... I wouldn't even bother with chamois butt'r or would put it on before the race and not take the time to put more on during. |

For a triathlon that short, transitions become a vital part of the race. Whatever you choose to wear (including the top), wear it during the swim. Shoes you can put on in transition. ;^) |
