Opened a season 2 weekends ago at Coinis No Limits 70.3 in Podgorica. 4th in 18-30y age group despite 2 toilet breaks totaling 16min. Next races: -14.5. Weston Park, UK (sprint) -18.6. Cholmondeley Castle, UK (70.3) -30.7. Sunderland WTCS, UK, (olympic) -5.8. Birmingham, UK (olympic) -17.9. 11Tri Belgrade, Serbia (70.3) And possibly -1.10. Barcelona, Spain (70.3) -29.10. Belek, Turkey (70.3 or even 140.6) Still figuring out my goals towards the end of the season, should I try my first 140.6 or not 😁
Great to hear it's being appreciated! Have you seen the video over on our sister channel, GCN, on their top tips for female cyclists? 👉 ruclips.net/video/_kbTZRAN0rE/видео.html Do you have any tips for female triathletes? 🤔
I bought a HUUB trisuit for my first race the other week and wore it fresh out of the box with no problems, probably not the best advice but it was definitely comfortable!
When I got my first one piece tri suit I thought you wore it like a wetsuit with the zipper in the back and as I was trying to zip it I thought "Using the bathroom is going to be a problem." Quickly figured out how to wear it correctly. 😂😅
I am neurodivergent and clothes are such an issue sensory wise and decisions wise. But a tri suit just solves all those issues, I wish I could wear one all the time not just triathlon time!
No, skin suits are made for cycling, and have a cycling chamois. Running in one of those is like running in a full diaper. A tri chamois is thin and fast drying. Higher end tri suits also have a hydrophobic coating.
As a filipino, and ASIANS generally, are shorter than caucasians... buying trisuits from the USA and Europe will often be a big mistake, the lower half may fit, the upper half usually is longer , therefore, loose 😁
That’s because us Asians aren’t well endowed down under as the Europeans or Americans and therefore that substantiates the fact that the upper half is not fitting. 🤣
Interesting... I never wear undies under any running kit. I do however buy those shorts that have a net inside them which provides the necessary support.
@@9blowtorch Suit yourself! I will feel naked without undies. How do you wake up in the morning and appease yourself to go out for a run without undies?
I agree. Unless you have a really tight fitting tri suit with proper support your parts will be dangling around down there and eventually cause terrible pain. Anyone who thinks going 'commando' is the way has either never run very far, or alternatively have very tiny tackle that doesn't need any support. It is a bit like women and sports bras - some can get away with not wearing them but only if they have very small breasts.
Have you got a triathlon race coming up? 🤔

Hatch End Tri 21May, Eton Dorney Olympic (1st time!) 10June, Holkham Half Iron (1st time!) 9July

Yes! My first Sprint in 2 weeks and then my first Olympic 3 weeks after that!
IM Floripa! 🇧🇷 🎉
Really loving the uptick in female athletic topics. Thank you! I learn so much here on this channel.

I did the London marathon in a back zip Saucony tri suit…..no loo break possible
Fortunately it wasn’t an issue and it was very comfortable

Thank you! It's always great when you make these videos so we can make sure we are doing the kits/gear correctly. Much appreciated!
Most welcome!
Blumenthal was wearing something under his at Tokyo Olympics 😂 that white Norwegian tri suit was very see through!

I'm using "Runderwear" under the Tri Suit and happy with that solution :D
Always helpful, thanks 👍
Glad you found this video useful! Is there anything else you'd like us to cover in a future video? 🤔

I usually wear a rash vest like I use for surfing and normal tri shorts. My wife swears by her Panache stuff.
Half ironman tri in oliver bc Canada june 3
I did have a race coming up in 3 weeks. Oly distance. But i just tore up my tendons in my left shoulder. So no race for me just yet
If you're going to be racing "all day", it's probably worth taking your time in transition and changing your clothes completely.
Isn't a tri suit the same as a skin suit
No, skin suits are made for cycling, and have a cycling chamois. Running in one of those is like running in a full diaper. A tri chamois is thin and fast drying. Higher end tri suits also have a hydrophobic coating.
These days pro men are wearing bottles under their suit 😆

@@MrTitusDenis endowed as Europeans? Americans? Africans laugh in sub-Saharan!😧
I can’t fathom going out without my undies, regardless of wearing a TriSuit or not!

you need to embrace the commando lyfe my dude
It’s a very freeing experience.
