What To Wear For Triathlon | Beginner Triathlon Tips
New to triathlon and not sure what to wear on race day? I go over the basics that will get you through your first race.
The whole race: You can either race in a 2 piece tri suit (top/bottoms), a 1 piece sleeveless suit, or a 1 piece sleeved suit.
Swim: A triathlon wetsuit, swim cap and goggles. If the water is too warm for a wetsuit, you can either swim in your tri suit or a swim skin. Make sure to choose an actual triathlon specific wetsuit and not a scuba diving or wakeboarding type of suit. Triathlon wetsuits are made for swimming, so stick with them.
Bike: Out onto the bike, you'll need a helmet. You can either use a regular bike helmet or an aerohelmet. Sunglasses are a must, either dark or clear depending on the sun and weather conditions. Cycling shoes that clip into your pedals are another must have. Lastly on the bike, depending on the race rules, you may be required to wear your race number (on a number belt). If not required, just leave your race belt with your running shoes in the transition area and put it on before starting the run.
Run: Race number, sunglasses, hat/visor (optional), socks(optional as well) and of course- running shoes! You can either use normal running shoes with quick laces or you can choose a triathlon specific shoe, which will have quick laces, drainage holes and be more suited to running barefoot.
