    Red face Can I race in this?

    I feel a bit self-conscious - tried my new tri short on. I intend to wear this (and only this) for the race - swim, bike & run.


    note my complete absence of boobage due to the high compression odlo bra, which I don't mind. Note the belly due to complete absence of situps in my training, which I do . And I was standing up straight.
    OK maybe the race number will cover up a bit

    Note my biker tan which I like

    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    I think that you can race in that...why not? I see lots of women racing in tops and shorts like that....

    Lack of boobage, I have that affliction too!

    Haha, I have that problem, and thats without any compression bra!

    I think you should go for it. Once you're racing you won't even remember that you were worried because you'll be so focused!

    I don't think you guys know what lack of boobage means!!

    This being said, this is a great outfit for racing.

    swimming is a better abdominal workout than any sit ups.

    looks great!! You'll fit in with many others on race day (and really, nobody looks at you anyway- except maybe the onlookers- but who cares because you're out there doing it and they're not).
    I WISH I could have lack of boobage. Mine just form the dreaded uniboob spare tire when I race. And I also wish I had a belly that flat! My gut has grown from far too many bowls of ice cream this winter...

    Really- you look great!!! Took a lot of courage to post that and get our feedback- so kudos to you!!! Enjoy the race (when is it again?)
