Wow - I totally didn't expect such rudeness from a women's forum. My doctor has given me the ok - I wasn't looking for medical tips - was looking for practical ones from other women who have competed while pregnant. Guess I'm headed back to beginner triathlete - where at least the people in the forum are nice and supportive! Here I was thinking that a forum of women would be even more encouraging....

And for the record, you obviously know very little - new research shows that more "intense" exercise is perfectly safe in pregnancy; HR concerns are mostly for the first trimester; not all tris have mass swim starts; not all women have "morning sickness"; and I was advised to wear a sports bra + bike shorts for the swim since its a waste of money to buy a trisuit that will only fit me correctly once.

Your sig file shouldn't refer to you as a visigoth - but rather a B!^@#
