What to wear if a tri-suit won't fit?

Roadigal, that's exactly the kind of step-by-step instruction I'm needing, thank you! I just read over the last one. It lists an emergency tag for your wetsuit and biking shoes - is that in case something happens to me and I can't speak for myself? Crash. Shark. Oh, the imagination runs wild. Eek.

D*H made a point today. He said no one starts training for a tri a month out from the race, and he asked if I'd checked it with my doctor. I haven't. I have to call her Monday morning. She's a runner and a cyclist, too, and she races, so she'll have a good idea if my heart can handle all of this.

I went on a 10-mile ride this morning - I did six miles in 28 minutes. That's on my mtb with the fat tires. As I was finishing the last lap up on the dam, I was feeling all good about myself and this white-haired man blows by me on a road bike like I'm standing still. I really need to get the skinny tires.
