Ladies,
I am seeking some advice on equipment for a female friend of mine. I am an avid road rider and have recently been blessed with a training partner that is new to cycling. She has been a great motivator for me this winter and I want to reward her by getting her the right equipment for her first duathlon this spring. She is a fit lady but is fairly top heavy.
I have only competed in road racing events and have zero idea of what is needed for a duathlon or triathlon.
The questions are:
For a duathlon would a person where cycling shorts or would it be better to where a Tri suit?
Being she is top heavy, is it better to have a one piece suit, bib, shorts…?
Is other gear needed?
Being that I have a relationship with Orbea, I would prefer to stay with Orbea or Orca clothing but would rather her have the right equipment if that is best.
Thank you in advance for the advice.
