I have been saying for years that I should do a triathlon and decided this is the year that I am actually going to do it...so I signed up for the Norway Tri in Norway, ME (www.norwaytri.com). It's a sprint, and I am just looking to participate and have fun rather than necessarily be competitive, so I don't think the training will be much of an issue (I run and bike quite a bit anyway, and used to be on swim teams so won't have a problem picking back up with swimming other than getting better at sighting while doing freestyle in open water). However, I am wondering about some of the logistics like what to wear and how transitions usually work since that will be something new for me. I probably will not get a wetsuit since the swim is in a lake in the middle of summer so the water temperature should not be a problem. Should I: a) wear a regular swim suit and throw on a pair of board shorts before getting on the bike; b) wear tri shorts and a tri top (I have a pair of the shorts already); or c) get a 1-piece tri suit? The first option uses things I already have, which is nice, but adds an extra step to the transition and may feel awkward on the bike/run. With the other two, I would have to buy something new, and I wonder how the separate shorts/top would be for swimming (potential issue with shorts sliding down or top riding up). What do those of you who have done tris before suggest?
