Swim: Long sleeve wetsuit.

Bike: Long sleeve compression top versus arm warmers, +/- wind vest, rubberized garden gloves, socks on the bike, probably leg warmers.

Run: Shed everything except the LS compression top and the gloves.

What you have going for you is that this is max effort so you are going to be producing a ton of heat but if you are wet and going 23+ MPH on the bike you are going to get cold. I hate being cold. I would rather lose a minute or two in transition and not be miserably, freezing cold on the bike. 43 degrees is a great temp for a 2 mile all-out run.

Dude, are you for real? This is a forum. People ask questions so that they, and everybody else can learn. Do you expect that every person who wants to race should be a complete expert in everything?

Gotta give him credit, he didn't mention hating coaches or doping at all in this one!

What to wear under the wetsuit? What to wear for the bike and the run? Good thing someone invented the wonderful trisuit, to which we’ve become accustomed. It’s supposed to make our lives so simple.
