What do you wear when traveling to a race? (Page 2)

*smack *   

Ok, sorry, but this is just completely retarded. You can ride a bike, right? You have enough coordination to keep yourself upright, don't you? So what's so hard about using a towel? Or, if you're really worried about sanitary things inside a portapotty, layer a towel over it and you can change into post-race comfort at you leisure.

And those doing an IM wear their clothes that long because they don't really have a choice. Oddly enough, some of them change their clothes at each transition. 

Bottom line: if you're not concerned about getting crotch rot or other fungal or bacterial infections that just thrive in warm, moist environments like wet tri shorts then don't bother changing. Otherwise, you may want to give it some thought ...

On the way TO the triathlon, my clothes would not be wet. An hour drive in DRY tri shorts is probably not going to kill me. Afterwards, we usually end up getting food somewhere, so I change in the bathroom at whatever establishment we are at. Once or twice, we've stayed in a hotel and had a late check-out so we've gone back there and showered and changed.

Dude i'm a chick and thats what i do.  theres a towel in my car so if i'm not at the gym, i can change after i get my workout in.

The advantage of wearing your race outfit *to* the race includes:

you don't forget it

Then go get an XXXL T-shirt and use it as a tent! 

When I was 17, I spent the summer in Norway as an exchange student.  My first night out with my host-brother's friends, they said we'd be swimming so bring a suit.  OK...we get to the beach, and (yea... ) there's nowhere to change.  I watched them change inside a towel or t-shirt and was able to do so without embarrasing anyone too badly.
