agreed with T1, I didn't enjoy going in and having them cleaning up. I was in the 2nd to last wave and it made me feel like I was wayyyy behind. I guess it is part of being in one of the last waves though.

Did you have some injuries before the race or just didn't have the time to train how you would have liked? Why trash the wetsuit? I thoroughly enjoyed having the wetsuit available to pickup my legs.
