New user 3 Yorkshire |  Subject: HiHi im new to the forum and to tri, i have just entered the sprint tri at ilkley in Yorkshire. I am 42 and 5ft4in i am overweight at 14st 4. i gave up smoking but feel better for it despite the weight. I have started training and will hopefully slim down. I need some advice about kit i have a bike and good trainers, but my problem is swim to run kit especialy the support needed for my larger chest! Do i get a sport bra and wear it under my swim suit or are there other optiona available. help would be appreciated. Thanks Adele |

Member 16 London, England | Subject: RE: Hi If you go to the LBT website I am sure there is a You Tube video of the course. The bike course is a 3 lap affair so the hill in question is tackled 3 times (and then again on the run) - if you are not too far away, have a go around the course...it's an easy one to navigate |

Veteran 169 Stockton-on-Tees Bronze member | Subject: RE: Hi I have seen adverts on the web that shock absorber (the people who make the sports bras) now do swimming cossies with built in bras. Don't know if that'll help with training. For competing (the whole twice!!) i have worn a sports bra under my tri suit and its seemed to work pretty well. Jennifer |

| New user 3 Yorkshire | Subject: RE: Hi Thanks for all your tips guys  , I have been for a walk around the circuit and the hill seems to go on for ever  !! so i am incorporating more hill work in my training. As its my first go at tri, i will be happy just to finish the course, a good time would be a bonus. Thanks again Adele |
