New user  8 |  Subject: Triathlon clothing changes - help!Just wondering - can someone spell out the clothing changes for me? You swim in a wetsuit - then what, your bike shorts are under your wetsuit? Aren't they uncomfortable being soaking wet? Then do you run in those, or is there yet another layer waiting to be peeled off? In the words of my good friend Thingfish, kindly "relucidate this baffling concept with another thrilling number!" Thank you. |

The Original 7834      Raleigh/Durham | Subject: RE: Triathlon clothing changes - help! You swim/bike/run in a tri suit, or tri top/shorts. If you wear a wetsuit, the wetsuit goes overs your tri outfit. The tri shorts and suits have less padding than bike shorts, so they dry quicker and are more comfortable. There's no changing involved, unless you're doing an Iron distance race. |

You don't have to change and it's purely an option. Some people do, some don't. I think you get your special needs bag along the bike and run courses. Usually 1/2 way I think? I'll be doing my first IM this fall so I don't know specifics.Not meaning to Hi-Jack....

Champion 11641 Fairport, NY | Subject: RE: Triathlon clothing changes - help! For shorter distance races, some people wear jammers instead of bike or tri shorts. Tri shorts have a chamois like bike shorts, but it's much smaller and dries out quickly. You don't even notice that it's there. |

And to answer the next question: You wear nothing under your tri-shorts! |

Correct nothing under the try shorts other then some body glide. Too much clothing can cause irritation |
