Hi all,
I am new to the sport of triathlon (just did my first sprint tri this past weekend) and am participating in the Haines City 70.3 this upcoming weekend. I first must say that I am much more of a participant than a competitor. Finishing the race is all I am looking for. With that said, I would appreciate any advice in clothing and transitions.
This is a no-wetsuit race. I am a 38 DD so my moving comfort sports bra is a must. This past weekend I wore a sports bra under my speedo swimsuit, and then slowly stripped off my suit and put bike shorts on with a tank. I ran in that same outfit (however it was only a 5K).
I am not all that concerned with transition times, but was wondering others thoughts on transitions and clothing. I also do not know yet if there is a transition tent or not. Will a soaking wet sports bra, with lake water from the swim and sweat from the bike portion be alright to run in? My initial plan was to completely change out of bike shorts and jersey into running clothes, with a new sports bra. But after the sprint this weekend I am thinking that may be a bit much.
Thank you for your help!! The logistics for these things are trickier than I originally thought.
