Hi ladies! I guess I'm not really considered an Athena, I'm 5'5" 137lbs, but my bra size is 38D. I'm not sure what to wear! Tri shorts would be great but not sure what to wear on top! At my age I don't want to show off my mid section. It will never be flat again (2 kids, one was 10lbs). A padded swimsuit sounds great as well but I don't think it will be enough to keep these girls supported during the run.  Let me know what you wear and how it works for you. Thanks!

I wear a wicking sports bra under a tri top with tri shorts.  Has worked fine so far.

Welcome, and good luck!

I second that!  There are lots of threads that address this issue on BT...keep on reading. 
But really, this should do it for you.

I am only a 38c but feel the same way.  I found this great top at Old Navy (of all places!).  It looks just like a tri top with the same material, just with extra support in the cups. 

For my first tri, I wore tri shorts with a wicking tank top.  When I was done with the swim, I just threw a sleeveless workout shirt over it.  It did the trick.
