I'm a big girl, what to wear for triathlon?

[Joyadee]

Thank you so much for the fast replies... I want to buy something this week. I think I am going to get the one piece suit. I think I will feel more confident in it and lord knows, I could use that boost! I'm also about a size 14/16 these days. I hope to drop a size before race day, but I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks for the help ladies!

Joy, I've been shopping for tri clothes too and you should be in luck getting some deals on here or elsewhere. I noticed that it seems that lots of the leftovers from 2006 are the larger sizes, so you will be able to save some $$!! Yay!


Good luck with your training!

Hey Joy....

Here's a great suit that should work for small-challenged gals, it features a zipper at the top so you can vent a bit during the run/bike...but zip-up for the swim. Good support, thinning lines, excellent quality from a top-rated manufacturer:

It says it's purple, but it's much closer to black. Nifty little outfit, actually pretty flattering too! If there is a one-piece that accomodates a "big gal"...this is likely it. Behind the zipper is a fabric band...just a great design and the vertical lines help too!
