That's chilly, but easily survivable for a short swim! Also, as Nick mentions, it's not really doable to put the wetsuit on for second swim. I'd think given the shortness of the first swim, the time needed to peel off the suit would outweigh the time saved by wearing it.
I have not done this race, but always loved the old Kure double sprint, so have been wanting to do this one. |
