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

First off...Roxy...go for it! Who cares what others think...if they're standing on the sidelines jeering you...well...enough said. You're out there doing something they're not. You go girl!

My daughter (age 11) wants to do this with me, but the age brackets start at 14, so I don't think she'll be allowed. I hope her father will bring her down to watch Mom compete.

If your daughter is interested, there is an IronKids tri the first weekend in May in Mission Bay. There is also a tri in Temecula the weekend before that and there is a kids division. My (almost) 9 year old daughter is thinking of doing both...even though her mama is strictly a cyclist.

Thanks for the encouragement. I need it.

Where is there information on these kids' triathlons? I'd love to learn more. The tri I'm thinking of doing is also the first weekend in May at Mission Bay. I wonder if they're related and the form I have just doesn't have anything about the kids' on it. Curious.

Thank you!

Denise, those videos are fantastic. I second what others have said, those are really inspirational!

Iris and Jocelyn, thank you for the tips on the wetsuits. I'll go check those out, too.

I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor. I emailed her today. I'll probably hear back tomorrow.

Well I ordered some patterns today to get an idea of what I might like. I found a place to buy everything to make my own suit!
