A few questions from a novice. IM Florida is a salt water swim. I usually swim in speedo's under a wetsuit and change into bike shorts (I need the extra cushioning and the salt usually chafes me to mucho discomfort) and a tri top. After the bike, I keep the top on and change into desoto tri shorts---hence the lazyboy 10 minute transition times. The desoto powershort is too long and the padding too minimal. Do you wear socks during the ride?

Can anyone recommend a short length, well padded one piece tri suit or shorts. I'm comtenplating the TYR one piece, Louis Garneu tri shorts, or new Pearl Isumi shorts.

How do you wear them under your suit and swim (any arm restrictions?), and then race all day in them. I realize this my seem like a trivial post, but I'm seeking to improve my transition times. Any input greatly appreciated.....
