This will be my first 1/2 iron distance race. I know that last year's water temp was 55(so i have read )in last year's race report. What are your thoughts on renting a sleeved suit for three days.Or would you just go sleeveless. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thanks a lot BTer's

The past two weeks the water has been low to mid 60's (warm compared to last year). Swam today with a friend who went sleeveless and she had no complaints.

I think you should be fine going sleeveless.

I went sleeveless in May for a tri - water temp was 61 degrees - I felt fine and water temp was never an issue for me there.  I think you should be ok.  I plan to wear my sleeveless on Sunday for SOR.
