Comments:

I wore my wetsuit for this swim to see how I would go. It is the first time I have swim with one and may be the last.

My time was faster than it would have been without due to my lack of swim fittness but I think any time I gain at my ironman attempt will be lost, possibly multiple times over, when I have to take it off.

I may just wear my fast skin.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

A general lack of swim fitness due to ironman training

Stroke after stroke, my pace was pulling me out into the middle of the lake quickly. The cover seemed to be getting thicker. But still in the distance, the little boathouse was my lighthouse.
