What do you wear under your wetsuit during the swim?
If it’s an IM event they have changing tents so you can go commando if you want. Or go with a speedo.
I go with the speedo since I wear it all race.

…I guess you’d want to bypass the strippers in that case (and, for sure, not forget to do so).
Methinks the strippers/speedo combo would be faster than peeling the wetsuit yourself in the change tent.

Never considered commando…since I always skip the wetsuit strippers anyways (faster to do it myself), I may have to consider commando.

At B2B this year, the RD stated that in 2012, a fellow from Japan didn’t quite understand that you have to wear something under the wetsuit if you’re going to stop by the wetsuit strippers. I’m guessing he had to spend the extra time putting the wetsuit back on!
At B2B I wore trishorts under my wetsuit and changed to a trisuit in T1 as it was 35 degrees out

Riding with a wet cycling bib chamois for 112 miles seems like a recipe for…god, all sorts of nastiness.

Judging from all one of the races I did this in, nope. I just made sure I used a lot of glide down in the nether regions. FWIW, my T1 was faster than my T2 where I had to change bike shorts to running shorts.
jammers…
I’ve worn Desoto 400 Mile shorts under the wetsuit. The pad doesn’t absorb water. worked perfectly. No problem, no nastiness.
5 IMs, no issues with bike shorts during the swim, bike, and run.

I never used chamois, you got thunder thighs or something? guess that is why my T levels are still high
Speedo, 20 years ago that’s what a lot of people wore the whole race

For full IM I wear Speedo’s - the great Aussie cozzie! If I had a hard enough arse I’d wear them all the way. Regrettably I’m soft and require desoto 400 mile Tri shorts. Just nude up in the tent for the change. For less than full I wear a Tri suit or shorts and top under.
