Don't pro's have a lower limit to wear a wetsuit than age groupers? If I'm not mistaken last year the pro's were under the limit but age groupers were over. I remember wearing one for the first time in this race last year but didn't necessarily need one. Though it was nice while standing around before hand.

UGH! i did not have one and it was then and there i decided if i ever stopped racing, competing in, doing triathlon, i would set up a wetsuit booth at the start of every tri no matter the distance for pple to purchase wetsuits. i would've given my left arm for one that day standing around. i was the 2nd to last sprint wave to go off and the oly's went first. so you can imagine how long i stood around freezing. water felt great, but by that time i was so miserable i wanted to call it a day and get a ride to t2. argh. bring one. if only to keep warm during the wait time!!!
