I did my run on Sunday in my Craft Tri shorts. My first reaction was that they were comfortable and tight. Not tight in a "too many pies" sense but in a compression clothing sort of way. The padding was evident but not thick like my cycling shorts.
I wore a pair of loose shorts on top just for decency :-)
During the first mile or so, it did feel like I was running after having a small accident in my shorts. If you asked me then, I would have said I will never run in them, especially 26 miles. But after 20 minutes, I stopped noticing it. I can see myself using them under my wetsuit and then on the cycle and run in shorter triathlons but I still think I'll change into my bib shorts for the 112 miles and then my running shorts for the marathon in the IM.

I did IMUK in my Craft shorts from start to finish. They were brilliant.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll use them again this weekend for my longer run.
