Discussion: First timer race gear
Subject: First timer race gear By: Christopher A. Written on: 2006-02-05 12:46:00 Message: just wanted to see what others recommended to wear for my first tri. So what does anyone reccomend? I am doing a sprint tri in Santa Barbara at the begining of April, so the water is cold for sure, the course isn't to hilly and by that point the temp should be moderate, well nice for someone training in New England. So any tips or suggestions are welcome. Thanks

You can always bring sleeves if you think the air temperature is going to be too cool for short or no sleeves. Good luck!

I did my first sprint with Orca tri shorts and that was plenty.... Jael
