(no subject)
I am doing my first sprint triathlon July 27th. The running part is a 5k (no worries there) the swimming portion is 300 meters (really nervous, need to train like crazy) and the cycling portion is 10 miles (Not that worried, except my bike is a heavy steel POS from the 70s, might decide to upgrade before the race or convert to a single speed, the derailers are all kinds of crazy and getting the cables strung and tensioned correctly was a huge pain in the ass when I built this bike up, plus it's too big for me, but I digress...).
I would like to solicit advice about what kind of gear I'll need for the swim portion? board shorts? wet suit? speedo? Actually any advice on how to approach my first sprint tri would be appreciated. Gear, transitions, training, etc. Thanks, y'all!
