TB, I would have thought you'd be fine with your regular run bra for a tri. I use the shock absorber 'ultimate run bra' underneath a tri suit, it is a thicker fabric so it does get quite wet but by the time you've done the bike it has dried out well and is fine for the run.

I’m a larger busted lady and I wear my enell bra under my tri stuff - if it’s a sports bra it’s going to be wicking innit?
And yes you’ll need a wetsuit even in the summer

My only tri I did in cheap tri shorts from wiggle, shock absorber run bra under a tankini top and then chucked a tech tee over the top in transition, numbers already pinned on. No chafing, and the 20k bike ride dried everything off before the run (sunny and breezy).
I also bought a swim cap, which of course I didn’t need on the day (they were provided) and have never used since. Anybody want a swim cap? Pretty sure I could find it.

Did the Chilly Duathlon in Feb and have Storm the Castle in April, Gobi.
Having a serious go at the late season Duathlons this year if I survive the double. By serious I mean attempting to achieve the Team GB qualifying standard of 120% the AG winner for European qualifying. Whether I make the cut or not in the end is fairly irrelevant (to me) but it will mean an improvement in performance which is relevant.

That's a good effort to win your AG at the Chilly, the standard seems to improve all the time. I have a PB of 54:12 set at the Feb one and represents 6 PBs in a row there. I am guessing you are went 4x:xx to win your AG?
