Beginner attire

[HillSlugger]

Hey guys I'm totally new at this and this forum is AWESOME!!!!

So, I am training for a sprint tri and need shorts advice. I am currently using a PI Short Attack Short and am very pleased with it. I have some gynecological pain issues that may me very wary of a thin little Tri short, even if I use it only for the race itself.

Is it OK to throw on my existing shorts over my suit? What about the leg opening seams? Are there boy shorts out there without a center seam that I could use, adding the PI shorts only for the bike leg? I don't want to use my regular suit with my butt hanging out there when I run!

There's certainly nothing to prevent you from wearing your regular bike shorts. However, it can be hard to get shorts on over a wet body. I recommend that you give it a try and see how it would work out for you.
