Discussion: Newbie gear question

Subject: Newbie gear question

By: Andrew P.

Written on: 2006-06-02 12:16:36

Message: I can never seem to discern from product descriptions: are tri jerseys supposed to be worn during the swim? I plan on getting the full-length, sleeveless variety (as opposed to tank-top style) and won't be wearing a wetsuit.

In case it's relevant - I'm 6'7", so a one-piece tri suit is out of the question since they don't seem to make tall sizes.

Any insight is appreciated.

Message: Andrew,

One piece tri suits don't work well for me either,
What I did in Tempe (no wetsuit allowed) was to swim in tri shorts with no top, bike in tri shorts no top,
Then had a comfortable running shirt with the number pinned on sitting in some cool water to grab and pull on for the run.
