I am scheduled to race in April but I have no idea what to wear. I know there are tri shorts out there, what would be a good pair to get? Also, after the swim, do you put a t-shirt on? I know you have to put your number on ( I plan to get one of those number belts to wear) do most beginners wear a t-shirt? Im a little chunky around the mid section so I dont know if Im ready for one of those skin tight shirts

Hey Bryan...
Yes, defenitely a pair of tri shorts. As for a good pair, unfortunately its all preference and what feels good on you, so if you order online, Id say get a couple different brands and then return what doesnt work. If you have any bike shops nearby, some may stock tri clothing, so that would help out if you could go there and try them on. Then you will just wear those for s/b/r. As for the shirt.... its up to you really, I've seen people wear cotton tshirts, but a tech shirt would probably be more desireable. It will dry out faster since youll be putting it on after the swim, and while it wont be "fitted" it wont be as bulky for the bike/run, or as uncomfy if it is hot out. They have loose fitting tech tees. those you can get at most sporting goods stores now. ANd yup, the number belt works. Anymore questions just ask! |
