What to Wear?

Another last minute consideration was what to wear!

Now this may seem like no big deal to those of you who have never done a triathlon, but it is so overwhelming. You do not have to prepare for 1 new sport, but 3! I went to the Endurance House and looked around. A young man, maybe 20 years old, came to assist. In my head I wanted to know things like: Do you wear a bra under the tri-suits? What should you think about when considering the crotch padding in biking shorts? What happens if you have to pee during the race and you have a one-piece outfit on? Ugh! So I went with easy, a one piece outfit that I could wear during the whole race and when training for any component of it. The only brand they had that fit me was one by Zoot. I honestly could not believe I was going to wear this monkey suit in public! I felt better when I learned Bridget would be wearing the same outfit in a different color! This led me to my first TRI - LESSON: The first thing you need to relinquish to be a triathlete is your modesty.
