I don't think I've ever got on the bike thinking, i'm cold, I have definitely been 5 miles into the bike and thought holy hell i'm freezing!
the good thing is that for most 70.3's it is acceptable to change in transition, its obviously a big time penalty but then so is being uncomfortably cold.
I changed between each leg at ironman, as I decided that id rather be comfortable than save 2 minutes, and I went through transitions faster than a lot of people who were "hardcore" and didn't change...
I think I've now got all my races decided for the year, even if I haven't necessarily entered them all,
2x sprint
3x Olympic
4x70.3
and one 3/4 distance team time trial as its always a good laugh - and I will make it into my club "a" team this year!
