Subject: wetsuit for the big & tall
Hi, I'm new to the world of tris and I'm gearing up for my first Olympic shortly followed by a long distance. The problem is everywhere I go, they can't size me for a wetsuit. I'm built like an American football lineman whose gained a gut at 6"4' (193 cm) and 265 lbs (120 kg) and there is no open water swimming in my state that wouldn't require a wetsuit. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm doing my first tri Saturday. It starts at 7 AM and the forecast is calling for a high of 82 (air temp). Do I need to rush out and get a wetsuit?

I’m a 240lb man, and I run relatively long distances. How would you recommend training for marathon and IM distances as heavy as I am?
