Thanks for the heads-up and good luck with the race.

I'm not sure exactly what temp the water was on my race but I think it was about 70 'ish and was *^&$& cold - I wasn't used to it/expecting it and just couldn't swim. I'd never venture into those temps again without a wetsuit but you may be used to those temperatures? I've yet to swim in a wetsuit but here they make a big difference on the effort levels as well with the extra buoyancy etc. I'm hoping to join a club open water session and try and get a suit to practise with - it will make or break whether I progress to longer distances next year. Swimming is my least favourite sport anyway and cold, murky, choppy open water is not my idea of fun. Maybe it wont be so bad with a little practise?
