Just got my first tri-suit and was wondering if it was acceptable to bike and run in it for training or just train a little in it and then use it for races only?

Is there degredation in the padding. It is a TYR suit that I pulled off cheap from tristuff4less.

Use it for a few bricks before your race to make sure there are no problems.

You want it nice a tight for racing.

This is my first year with a tri-suit and I've worn it like 4 or 5 times total. twice just to test it out and 3 times at races (over 5 months or so). Make sure it's comfy and fits, then save it for a race-day upgrade

Bike and ride, sure. Just don't swim in a pool with it. The material (depending on the suit) will likely break down.
