Hi all,
I need to order something to race in for this season. My main focus is half-iron's (doing 5 of them) with a few olympics and sprints mixed in. I am trying to go pro so speed is a priority, but also comfort since 4-5 hours is a long race. I am trying to decide between a tri suit, two piece long top, or two piece bra top. Things I know about myself is that I like longer shorts, good chamois is a MUST, and that I definitely get hot on the run. I raced in a tri suit last season and really liked it for the bike (plenty of room to breathe easily) but found it hot as hell on the run, and not very comfortable for that. I am thinking of going with the bra top which i did in the half i did last season. Kind of an issue to store gel, but i figure that being cool for the run should be a priority since that is the toughest leg of the race, at least for me. I am also thinking of going with the 2xu endurance stuff.
Thoughts? what you do all race in? what do you like/dislike and why?
