First wetsuit OWS

Today was my first OWS in a rented wetsuit and I did 900 meters without becoming overly tired. The extra buoyancy is just sick; I felt like I didn't have to kick at all. My upper arms are a bit more tired than normal. My tri shop only had a short in my size which was a little constricting and I think contributed to my arm soreness.

I didn't bother to time anything as I'm just concentrating on form and energy savings in the water for my first tri. I also don't want to have any set expectations other than feeling comfortable and in control in the water.

Bodyglide was awesome for the wrists and ankles. The suit pretty much slid right off with minimal tugging. Next time I'll go a little higher on the forearms and calves as the sweating tended to make the wetsuit cling a little higher than I expected.

I was a little dizzy exiting the water, but it wasn't out of control and I was able to practice T1 without tipping over with dizzyness. 

Thanks to all the tips and threads people have contributed here. This site has really helped me to feel prepared for what is to come. Only 14 days til my first tri and I couldn't be more excited.
