    meh, get over it I guess. You will be surrounded by 2/300 other people in the same boat.

    I wouldn't wear anything underneath for vanity reasons, however a pair of speedos can provide some support.

    Still will have equipment on display though.

    As long as yours is not the smallest on display you'll be fine:D

    Stick a cucumber down your shorts, you may run slowly but you'll have the most fun at the post race pi$$-up.

    Us women never notice that most guys do usually go commando under a trisuit.

    Honest.

    Personally I think its more important to make sure that the backside of your tri suit hasn't worn and isn't transparent to anyone behind you when you're down on the tri bars (this applies to men and women)!!

    Tunney has a lovely expression for the view the person behind you gets if your tri suit is worn.............

    Cover yourself in a beach-towel, until you get into the water. I'm sure no-one will think any less of you. ;)

    A race belt with number attached acts like one giant fig leaf if you're really concerned.

    Ps. This is not why I use a race belt :)
