Hello,
This is my first post on SlowTwitch. Please forgive me if I make any protocol errors.
I've done some unofficial triathlons I the past year - marathon coach set them up for cross training. This year I attempted the mermaid triathlon and California Sprint Triathlon.
I am missing my strength training because of sports bras - I can't jump without flaying open my shoulders. this affects my running too. with run, I can add a second sports bra and then wrap an ace bandage around me to mitigate. I cannot do this with tri.
I am an unusual size and have to go to specialty stores. I have had sports bras custom made but they were useless. I wear a 36 K. That is not a typo. I'm 5'9" and hour glass shaped. My athletic 'talent' is weight lifting. I've been marathoning - run & x-country ski - for about 7 years now. I used to play volleyball and softball.
My Current gear:
I have to pin my Zoot Suit with safety pins. Under my Zoot Suit I wear a sports bra that doesn't quite fit and spills out of the sides and another tank-bra that doesn't really fit but it helps tie things down.
I'm renting a Blue Seventy MENS wetsuit. I have to take it back but I want something that may be cut a little more generously. It works but if I can leverage any space across the bustline I'd like to do so. I have straps cutting into my shoulders horribly and the sides of my breasts are not being spared.
Please note, I do not plan to have a reduction any time in the next decade.
Thank you for any suggestions you can make. Have a great day!
