1. I'm 230 and tri shorts just aren't going to cut it. because they are cut way to low. I am having trouble finding a pair of shorts that I can use for all 3 events. but still ahve some padding for the bike portion of the race. but I don't want to be running in a wet diaper also.

2. if I can find a short that will do all 3 event. can I change at the transition point from swim trunks to a cycling slash running short. and if I do this how private are they. don't want to be showing the world everything I got going on.

I've got the bike and the running shoes and what not. just looking for shorts that can do all 3 that keep the mid section in mind.

I look forward to all the answeres.
