Hi ladies, please help, i'm rather large up top (E cup) and wear an industrial-strength running bra (shock absorber ultimate running). What do big-boobed women do in triathlons? Do we wear a bra under swimming suit, under wetsuit? Three layers? Please help!

    i'm not a large chested lady, but you're not the first person i've known to ask this and the answer often is to wear your preferred excellent supporting sports bra under the swim/trisuit (and therefore under the wetsuit). you'll not be in the wettie for long, and i think you'll appreciate the additional support by the time you get to the run

    you won't be the only one doing this at a race i am sure! . 

    obviously with triathlon you will need to make sure it all matches in terms of colour, correct amount of go-faster red highlights, carbon weave on the straps that sort of thing.

    ask away! we can all remember our first races and the odd things that feel really important (i was obsessed with how much food and water i'd need for a sprint race, and carried 2 water bottles and small picnic with me. now, a few years later, i'd save the picnic until after!).

    where/which event are you racing?
