During my T1 transition, do I simply my running racing shorts on top of my speedo?-since the shorts have an underwear lining? Will this create an uncomfortable situation for me? What do the pros do?-aside from racing IN their speedo, which I'm not yet comfortable yet doing!

Can't give you much advice here because if I wore a speedo, it becomes a speedon't. I would suggest riding and running with your running shorts over your speedo during training. If it doesn't cause any discomfort, then do it. I can't see putting on running shorts in T1 costing a huge amount of time.
Still Tri'n,
(but not in a speedo
)

Well, I happen to like the way speedos feel for support. I pulled on a pair of compression shorts, then another set of shorts over that in T1. Ate up some time trying to get the compressions over semi wet skin. So won't do that again.
In T2, had to take off the shorts, the compressions, then put on my lined running shorts. Again, the clock was ticking. The run went fine with the speedo-running shorts combo. Of course, I was doing 12 minute miles. So it might be different at another pace.
Tri'ing to keep up,
