Champion  17756      SoCal |  Subject: How durable?are swim shorts for running and biking? I got some Speedo long shorts for swimming to get rid of my board shorts. I don't have a lot of money right now and I saw the Speedo shorts and a Nike compresson shirt on a very good sale so I picked them up. I wore the shorts under my normal shorts today when I went running. How durable do you think they are? Can I train in them or should I just keep them for swimming and race day? This is mainly for the gym I am asking. I know Tri shorts are better but I have to make a drive to get some and they will be more money. So what do you guys think?

Champion 17756 SoCal | Subject: RE: How durable? I have under shorts I wear when I train that are tight like the swim shorts but I wouldent be able to wear them in a pool. I was wondering for the days I go to the gym to swim how bad would it be to just wear the swim shorts under my normal shorts when I'm running or riding. I can just change into and out of the pool I just wanted to get use to the swim shorts and how they feel while running and riding. My first Tri is a sprint so everything is short. |

| Master 2460 | Subject: RE: How durable? Those Speedo endurance or other 100% polyester jammers are tough as nails. Unbelievably tough actually. I've been abusing my Reebok $30 100% polyester jammer by swimming all my swims, both ocean & pool, occasional bike sprints, and lots of running, and it still looks like it's brand new. |
