TRIATHLON ACCESSORIES

When you do a triathlon, you should wear a tri suit. It can be a one-piece or a two-piece tri suit. The advantage of wearing a tri suit is that you don’t have to worry about changing clothes between swimming, cycling and running. Unlike cycling shorts, which have thick padding, a tri suit has a thinner pad or chamois, which keeps you comfortable on the bike.

You can wear a wetsuit during the swim portion, unless the temperature is too high. The organization will communicate on race day if the wetsuit is permitted or not. So you need to be prepared to do the swim portion without a wetsuit and be at ease in the open waters.

During the triathlon, you will need to wear either cycling shoes or running shoes for the bike portion, choose the one you're comfortable with. And of course your running shoes for the run portion of the race.
