Earrings while racing? r/o
Quote | Reply
I've noticed that a lot of women, including pros, wear earrings during a triathlon. I remember Lori Bowden used to wear pretty good sized hoops even.

I would be afraid that they would fall out, esp during the swim.

Just wanted to see if I'm the only one? Anyone regularly wearing your jewelry racing? Am I missing out on a great opportunity to accessorize my trisuit? *jk*

I have opal earrlings that never come out of my ears and have had no issue racing with them. I do take my ring off since it's a little loose and I'd not want to lose it in the swim.

I wear small hoops while racing with no worries.

X2 except mine are pearls.

They stay in for swim team, inside an aero helmet, and hopefully, don't get snagged in my hair when I run.

yup I have some cool silver stud earrings (not very expensive so if I lose not a big deal )that I wear all the time racing or swimming and I wear my wedding band as well. No problem either

I keep all my piercings in but take off my wedding ring (my fingers swell up if I get too hot).

i take my rings/bracelet/watch off, but race with all the metal you see here (plus all you don't see):




too much of a pain in the ass to take it all out and have to put it all back later. personal choice.

cheers!

Opposite end of the spectrum here... I take off all of my jewelry, except for my MedicAlert bracelet, which can barely be considered jewelry. I don't want to have to worry about my earrings snagging or losing my wedding ring.

My criteria is 'would I wear this for a water polo game?' which is what many open water swims end up resembling. So nothing that someone else could catch a finger or hand in- no hoop earrings, necklaces, or bracelets.
