    Hi All,

    hope you can clear up this for me,

    I am doing my first triathlon in July and am just wondering what all the ladies do in relation to their underwear.

    I will have my wetsuit on for the swim with a swimsuit underneath but then what do I do after that for my underwear, as in, do I just put a bra on under my swimsuit and assume it dries out as I cycle?

    I am just worried about the whole getting changed situation

    Just wondering what the ladies do!

    Thanks for reading

    hi there, most people would wear a Tri suit under their wet suit. For women there is a built in bra, but for some of us additional support is required so I wear a sports bra underneath too.
    If you don't have a tri suit & don't plan to get one I would just wear your sports bra under your swim togs & throw on what ever you need for the bike/run over your swim togs.
    Good luck.

    Thanks so much!

    Thats exactly the info I needed. I don't intend to get a tri-suit, I will if I do more triathlons but for the moment I will just use my normal running gear.

    Thanks again

    Exactly what my wife did. First Tri she wore a swimming costume with sports bra then threw on a t-shirt and cycle shorts and did the bike/run in them. Second one she bought a tri-suit for but still needed the sports bra underneath.

    As mentioned a sports bra under your suit then lash on bike shorts and a top and off you go. Pin your race no to the front and back of your top. Don't worry about being wet starting the bike, thats normal you'll dry quickly. Trisuits are the biz tho so maybe ask around in case someone can loan you one.
