Give it a TRI

[JayLow]

I did my first few triathlons (including 4x IM70.3s) with the Lizzard Rollan tri suit https://bike-addict.co.za/products/lizzard-rollan-tri-suit
and now I have replaced it with this one from Decathlon: https://www.decathlon.co.za/triathlon-accessories/325448-50208-men-s-short-distance-short-sleeved-triathlon-trisuit.html

Both are significantly less expensive than 2XU or Orca.

Order one from Enjoy in Cape Town. Our Triathlon Club uses their TriSuites and I am very happy with them. I have done 3 70.3s and the full in my suite and it is still perfect. Price is also great! Much cheaper than a Ciovita or 2XU but the same quality. I think price is the same as a First Accent, but I would for sure rather go for the Enjoy one.

You can rent wetsuits for the swim. Makes a huge difference, you don't want to be the only one not in a wetsuit. I have done it previously from xterra wetsuits. It was a easy and convenient

Daniela Ryf retires early than expected, even though this was to be her last season. https://tri-today.com/2024/08/daniela-ryf-announces-retirement-its-time/?fbclid=IwY2xjawEv9fpleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHQ21nHwO_drJV5jCOQSOocmqaLtXmX_LURpc7xyPfY7HkxfuUBISEoeOcQ_aem_BWbj9A2WaMzzo3dmlQU83Q

Any idea where I can find these in a medium or has anyone tried tri-shorts ? Open to recommendations. Lastly what socks do you guys use, always cycle in versus but socks stuck for running and my falke running socks are a bit to thick for cycling so looking for something in the middel.
