I dont understand why we cant get changed.
I hate that. Its the 21st century and people are still living in fear of genetalia.
The only people nudity in the transition area is going to bother is the spectators as the athletes cannot see anything due to the sweat dripping in their eyes.As the ''romance'' thread says lycra doesn't really hide anything and often leaves nothing to the imagination.
I loved germany, swimming about in a river in munich in the buff and noone batting an eyelid. Lots of people doing it, nothing sexual about it, it was really hot and it was a beautiful park!
I like a bit of flesh but its a race fergoodnessake.
Oh there it is....phew
This makes it even for both sexes, as girlies have to keep their chesticles covered for UK decency law reasons when hooning about the roads so this forces the blokes to comply as well. *Interesting UK law note: partial nudity is OK so long as nobody who sees you is offended.*
The fact that we all need to keep our floppies, flappies, nuts and lips covered up in public has got nothing to do with Triathlon.
As for specators, they isn't that many at most races and they shouldn't be around transtion changing any way they should be where peopl get onto or of their bike or the start and finsih line.
Im pro nudity. And we are european - we are in europe? and anyone who doesnt want to be associated with the continental ...talent... is silly.
The no-nudity rule isn't such a bad thing is it? Really? And yes you want to be out of transition quickly, but it's a level playing field so you won't lose any time. And surely if you've got what you're wearing underneath the wetsuit i.e. a trisuit, it's saving you time anyway?
I think it's a good thing. Last thing I want when I'm bending down to put my shoes on in someones arse in my face... or worse!
I don't thinkfor most of us a nudity would make any difference as all we are bothered about is reducing our times rather than looking at some male or female without any cloths on
As for seeing other people part, you haven't been on a french or greek beach recently, but then I do keep away from the main tourist beach's as hate the crowds and also want to train ie swim and run on the beach
I thought you could never run/bike topless, maybe only during Transitions.
Yeah that was my understanding of it. Blokes swimming in shorts only put tshirts on for the bike, no-one biked or ran topless.
I could be wrong on this one,but I think it was one of the Brownlee's (alistair or Jonathon) who got penalised for failing to wear a top crossing the finish line at one of the European races when he was just starting out.It was a very hot day and he had pulled the top of his tri suit down.
