  I would do a trisuit with your wetsuit over top-just peel it off and go!

  have you watched a tri?  You need to before you compete-even if you just youtube one.  Watch the transition.  Really you don't want to be changing a lot.  If you don't want to invest in a trisuit just wear your swimsuit under your wetsuit-then at T1 you peel the wetsuit and put on tri shorts and your shoes-or clipons if using them.

  I'm in the South where most triathlons during the season aren't wetsuit-legal. I have a pair of tri shorts and a sports bra from UA that I wear for the swim, and after the swim I throw on a bike jersey for the rest of the race. You could definitely do without though and go for minimal clothing fuss.

   

  Good luck with your tri and have fun!

  def. watch a tri before you go! Check to make sure you can wear a wetsuit, it depends on the water temp. Enjoy! They are so much fun!

  I wear the tri short and top.  The top has a built in shelf bra; however, now that I've had a child and breastfed for a year- I may be adding a sports bra underneath to help support the girls.

   Whoohoo- enjoy; it's addictive!

  I wear tri shorts and my swim top for the swim, and throw on my bike jersey for the bike and run.  Enjoy!
