Subject: RE: Hello! New to the Tri World... Hey man,
For my first three tri's, I just wore my biking shorts for the swim portion. I wasn't about to drop a lot of money on a wetsuit, just incase I didn't like it, know what I'm saying? It worked out pretty well. I would have pretty quick transitions because I didn't and still don't have biking shoes, I wear my racing flats (running shoes ) for the bike and have the straps on my pedals. When I transition into the run, I keep my biking shorts on, but would just throw running shorts with my number over top of them and take off. My transition would be like 30 seconds. Bike shorts dry out pretty fast and don't really slow you down too much in the water, so it is a good way to get into the sport. Good luck with your training and welcome to the board my friend.
