Any will work. expect the water temp to be in the upper 60s to low 70s on race day,

 

I've used full and sleeveless @ moo  and prefer the latter but  I have tight shoulders to begin with.

 

 

Enjoy the next 9 months of training.,

The majority of the IM WI races had persons wearing a full, long-sleeve wetsuit. As Craiggers stated earlier, any wetsuit will do, but you have to decide what your criteria is. First, identify your budget since they can cost from just over $100.00 to $500.00. Fit is the next consideration, since a Pro-Motion may fit slightly different than a Blue Seventy or Orca, based on its sizing. The company websites should have a measure graph/chart to help with sizing. Good luck and perhaps we'll see you out there.

I recommend trying it on and taking it for a test swim before purchasing...some shops will let you rent them. I know Emery's has a great selection.
