Tri Shorts

I bought my first pair of tri shorts today. Tri Shorts are a combination swim trunk and bicycle short. It was very intimidating buying them. There were so many choices. From length and material to leg grips and chamois. I was a little overwhelmed. I decided on the cheapest pair they had in the length I want. They were made by Sugoi. I love the name it reminds me of a scary store My grandfather Mosu` used to tell about the Strugoi. That's something for a different day. I figured I'll probably need to buy more down the road and at that point I'll know what I want in a Tri Short.
The other really intimidating part was discussing my triathlon goals with the people in the shop. if you go to a running store and tell some one that your training for a marathon they say "That's great! Good Luck." When you tell some one that you're training for an Ironman they ask "Are you sure you want to do that it's really hard." As if I wasn't aware that training would be hard. But in the end I have the shorts they feel great. I went out for a combo ride/swim and they preformed well.
