Hi, daft question I know, but im about to do my first pool based triathlon. Do people ususally wear their tri suit for these events? Would rather now look like a complete idiot

yeah, tri-suits are definitely ok.

"If one can stick to the training throughout many long years, that willpower is no longer a problem. It's Raining? That doesn't matter. I am tired? That's beside the point. It's simply just that I have to."

I would use a tri-suit and a swim cap. Some guys I saw just did the bike/run in their speedo - ouch. I think the tri-suit or even tri shorts and no top (if allowed - I assume you're a guy) or with a tri top is another option.

I usually do mine in jsut my tri-shorts, no top. Then again I have no top at this point, so that really doesn't make it much of a choice.

Cool, thanks for all the advice. Reckon its the trisuit then!

Danpatgal - yeah, Im a guy, but the top DEFINITELY goes on - you havent sen my abs since last season!

Yeah, and a 40K bike in speedos doesnt appeal!
