Subject: RE: TryCharleston 2012 - Sprint and Halfstjohn2912 - 2012-04-04 12:31 AM For those of you who have raced this 1/2 course before, are there changing tents available at T1 and T2? If not, any suggestions for those of us who might be a little more modest? I don't want to wear my bike shorts under my wetsuit, wet soggy bike shorts make for a miserable 56 mile ride but is the only other alternative changing from the swimsuit to the bike shorts via the birthday suit by the bike rack? And the same question for T2, changing from the bike shorts to running shorts, is there an alternative other than the birthday suit in the middle? I wouldn't think port-a-johns would be too conducive to changing. In all the pictures I've seen of the race, I didn't ever remember seeing changing tents, maybe I just missed them. Any suggestions? There are not changing tents. And regardless of your level of modesty, it is against the rules to strip down in the transition area (or anywhere else on the course...). If you absolutely have to change, you could use a port-a-potty. But: you really should invest in a pair of triathlon shorts. You can swim, bike, and run in the them. They are comfy. They dry out quickly after the swim. They really are the way to go for racing. Good luck in the race. Edited by Experior 2012-04-04 7:43 AM
