This will also help calm your nerves, there's normally some additional nervousness when the water is cold so acclimate beforehand and do a 300-400m warmup. Swimming in full sleeve wetsuit will also feel different because your arms no longer feel the water during the pull. Many people are tempted to increase their arm turnover because of this feeling, just know your stroke is the same and keep it long and smooth

Definitely climb in the water and get wet (water in the suit) before the race starts... it will be warmer quicker... then layer of warm water between your body and the suit.

Whew...it's been a long one today!

Kelli - You will conquer those hills!  Sorry no advice on wetsuits as I've never used one in a race.

Todd - Good job on the pound loss!

So I had a tri dream last night.  And it wasn't a good one.  Someway/how I was stuck in the transition area.  Guess I am getting nervous about my race this weekend.  Yikes!

Amen.

Work is making me a little stabby this week too.

Though I'm recruiting work friends to train with, and that's making the whole getting in my workouts thing eaiser.  A few weeks ago one of my work girlfriends joined my gym (and is now quickly becoming an outside of work friend).  That's motivating me to get up in the morning to run and lift.

And now today one of the guys I work with wants to train for a race and has asked if I will drag him to the pool during lunch twice a week.  Good news for me as that means I will drag myself to the pool during lunch twice a week.

Oh my gosh, when I have Tri-related nightmares it's ALWAYS that I'm stuck in transition!  I wake up from those ones so mad!

I know it's easier said than done (this is totally one of those pot and kettle situations here) but try not to be too nervous about your race.  I stalk your TL and you are more than trained and ready for this bad boy.  You're going to do awesome, and love every minute of it.

I'll break out the pom poms for ya later in the week.

I ready for the week to be over and the month to be at least half way over...  Just get behind me and stay there.  I am taking a mind clearing hiatus from Tri-related thinking today...  I am only going to put in a few minutes here this morning and then I am off of it for the day... in addition to that, I am not going to ponder training or racing or anything of the sort for the entire day, and maybe tomorrow.  I am getting to wrapped around my lack of training, my inability to get my arse moving in the AM, and all other associated activities.  Therefore, I am going to hit the delete button for the day...

Have a great Wednesday, and don't go having some crazy funny swimmy suit kinda day on here without me... Check y'all on the flip!  AMF!

I know I'm overthinking this and being a total girl, but....  The forecast for Saturday looks to be cloudy with a high of 70....so probably in the low-mid 60's for the race.  All of my tri tops are sleeveless....brrr.  Should I consider wearing arm warmers?  Or any other, warmer ideas?

Your HR will be up high enough where 65-70 will feel great in sleeveless. I vote go sleeveless, you'll thank yourself on the run
