Christa,
Tri Shorts (not bike shorts) and a sport bra/top are what I wear. The key thing
( I believe) is to make sure you put on enough sunscreen, esp if you are in a
sport bra. I put two layers on before I head to the race and then another thick
coat on my back before I zip up my wetsuit. I just learned from experience that
if it is hot out your back gets fried :(. Weather dependent you may want arm
warmers. I always wear a run hat or a visor too for the run.
Also Chamois butter helps with the comfort of the tri shorts too (I like assos
cream).

Tri shorts/top you can purchase at any local tri shop.
Chamois butter- tri shops/bike shops/ and Herriott Sports Performance carries
the assos cream.
