If you are feeling modest, you could totally put on a pair of looser shorts over top though.
Keep in mind - trying to put clothes on top of wet clothes when you're excited & your heart is racing - not an easy task. Less is more - and will get you to the finish line faster.
Not a modesty thing. Im a really big guy (300+) doing a triathlon, so if i gave a rats ass what people thought of how i looked i wouldnt be here in the first place. Plus I have a 5'4" 122 lb fiancee at home so my looks cant be that bad
