Newbie Question - When To Wear Tri-suit? |
Question:
With an indoor pool swim, does one
swim in a tri-suit or put on after
the swim? I imagine the former, but
haven't swum in a suit. Are they comfortable
(and fast) to swim in?
Answer:
I imagine the former, but haven't
swum in a suit. How fast they are
depends on you, but my tri-shorts
are as cofortable--and I guess as
fast--as a pair of jammers. You need
to experiment for yourself. Do a couple
400's in your regular suit and a few
in your trisuit. Compare and go with
the fastest. The purpose of the tri
suit is to reduce time in transition.
If you put it on after the swim you
have defeated that purpose. My bet
is that you will be faster in a properly
made and fit tri suit.
