Hi there
With just over seven weeks to go I am still undecided as to what to
wear for my first ironman. Should I go all out for a long distance tri
suit or stick with seperate swim / bike / run kit? I use Assos bike and
Nike run kit so theres no worries about the quality and comfort of what
I have got. Will I sacrifice any comfort for the sake of quicker
transitions, although my aim is to finish I am looking to be in the 11
to 12 hour region. Any and all advice taken on board.
Been looking at Craft and Kiwiami suits by the way.
Any one else heading out to New Zealand?

No idea whether it works and it's a while before I will be attempting any distance worth trying it. But if he said it works I expect he is right.

I guess it matters to those wanting to win but when I get round to it I was intending to spend as long as it takes to make sure i'm going to be comfortable for the next god knows how many hours on the bike.
Got great feed back and advice from them www.kiwami.fr
As for the Craft gear, I couldn't get any info. Their web-site is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard and none of the UK dealers seem to be able get the kit anyway!
Will let you know more once it arrives and have tested it in training.
