Subject: what to wear for sprint tri (male!) Hi all,
dipping my toe into the world of triathlon in September and the question of "what should I wear?" seems to be a common one.
Firstly, this is a sprint triathlon and the swim will be in a pool. So no wetsuit required.
I am on a really tight budget so my thoughts were, get some "tri-shorts" and even if I decide to not do another one, I can still use them for cycling.
The problem is that "proper" tri-shorts are fairly expensive and I dont even know what the difference is between tri-shorts and cycle shorts!
If its just the thickness and/or material of the pad, I am thinking about getting some shorts without a pad - I'm guessing it would be more comfortable to have no pad, than riding 20km in a heavy wet nappy! Can I just get some cheap (and therefore thin padded ) cycle shorts?
Whats your suggestions?
Thanks
