Hi all,
Im doing the stratford 220 triathlon in a few months and it will be my first one, but i'm unsure what I need in terms of clothing? As it is pool based will people just be wearing trunks, wetsuits or trisuits(are these the same as wetsuits?)

If you're going for your fastest possible time (rather than just trying to finish) but you don't want to buy a tri suit then I'd go for tight (i.e. not baggy) trunks and t-shirt - otherwise you'll look like a parachute on the swim and bike legs.
If you do an open water swim then you just wear your trisuit under the wetsuit and take the wetsuit off after the swim i.e. do the bike and run legs in just a trisuit
good luck
Thanks
