Hey Roxy,

First off, stuff what people think. You're going to give it a shot & that's what matters. 'The weight will eventually wander away to another person

Wear what you'd feel comfortable in. When i did my first tri, i was concsious of my middle & just wore a tri top & bottom over my bathers.

A thought might be to get yourself a large rashie for your top & a large pair of nicks for the bottom. You'll have to change quickly in transition but if you're not out to be madame speedygonnzales, then why not?

Why not just walk really really quickly rather than try & run? Do what you think is best for YOU.

Keep working at it & don't panic! Have fun at your first event & do it for the training experience. Give it a shot kiddo.
