I walk/intermittent slow jog now and wear the Enell bra that has a dozen or so clasps up the front. My swimsuit has a shelf bra , which I wouldn't even consider running in! I have only seen pictures or videos of tri- events, there doesn't appear to be any privacy for the transition from the swim. It appears everyone is in viewing. What would be the trick to managing this. Do those tri tops and suits offer enough support solo?
They offer enough support for some of us. For the rest you'll need to wear a supportive bra underneath. And no, there are no changing facilities at tris (except Ironman distance) so disrobing is a big no-no.
