Ladies... what to wear for my first triathlon?!

I'm in the UK and I've got a triathlon in a month's time. The end of April is so hard to judge what the weather will be like!

I'm not very fast on my bike, and it's been quite chilly lately, so I tend to wrap up a bit - I wear thermal leggings, a wicking top and a zip-up hoodie top to cycle in at the moment.

If I buy a trisuit for my pool swim, then put on a wicking zip-up hoodie over the top for the bike section, will I be warm enough/comfortable enough?! I thought it would be easy to take it off if I do overheat on the bike/run.

Only other option is wear a swim suit with a sports bra under then put on leggings and a hoodie on top!

I wish I was a bit faster then this wouldn't be a problem lol.. maybe next time!

I wore tri shorts and a tri top (basically a sports bra) for the swim and added layers on top of that before getting on the bike.
