Veteran 136  |  Subject: Cold, wet, windy early season tri adviceI've got my first sprint tri of the season tomorrow morn. It is supposed to be 36 degrees with 20+ mph winds and rain. Sounds delightful eh? Obviously it is a pool indoor swim, but I'm looking for how best to survive and hopefully enjoy the race. Typically I would wear my tri suit and toss on something over it for the bike. It will be MUCH colder than I'm used to. Here are my questions: Should I wear my tri-suit or swimsuit (as there would be less to make me wet on the bike)? Should I try to pull on my fleece biking pants? Should I ride my new gorgeous road bike that I've only ridden once or my trusty hybrid? Any other advice than just sleeping in? kory |

I would dress as needed to stay warm and dry. As for the bike, I would stay with the one I am most used to. Good luck and HAVE FUN |

Twas in the mid 30s and rainy for the bike, but no wind and rain stopped for the run. Had a great time, in part because I decided to screw my transition times, really dry off and put dry clothes on for both the bike and run. So much nicer. -kory |
