Ultra Ironwolf - now THAT is something I hadn't actually thought of! And as I am ultimately planning a middle-distance race as my first target race (I may be a novice, but I am also an endurance junkie, and certainly the swim and the run leg won't be a problem...) the potty break may indeed be an issue... And crop top - yup, can see that work. Thank you!  |

Hi there, now that I have found the triathlon bit of the forum: spot the triathlon novice.... Injury meant I had to do lots of cross training and could not run. So - numerous swimming, cycling and aquajogging miles later I thought I'd put all this training to good use and do a few triathlons. Now - questions: wet suit. Any advice on what to look out for? How to decide on the correct size. Can you try them out in an endless pool and is that reasonably realistic compared to open water swimming? Also, what has kind of baffled me: tri suits. Obviously worn under the wetsuit and then worn throughout the race. Now - being a girl I do need a sports bra for running. Do these suits come with inbuilt bras, and do these do the trick? Or do you wear a bra under the trisuit and then hope for it to dry on the bike leg...??? May sound a stupid question, but seeing I haven't really been near any trisuits yet with any intent, I just don't know. Any advice will be welcome - thank you! | |

| Thanks - will try the tri bit of the forum. For some reason I thought I was on the triathletes' world website. Maybe not... Interesting that bra under trisuit seems to work - good! Will head up to Birmingham next weekend and am hoping for lots of inspiration on the tri show there... Wetsuits are what has partially kept me from doing triathlon in the first place - but that does make open water swimming a bit difficult here. Thanks again! | |

| Thank you. Will mix swimming and aquajogging, I think. Nothing like a bit of variety... | |
