Subject: Wetsuit or no wetsuit? I jumped into triathlons last year and looking back, I'm amazed just how inexperienced I really was. I started training for my second season over the winter and I have amazed myself with how far I have come. I have a sprint coming up in July and I'm feeling like I'm in the best shape of my life. I raced in it last year so I know the course and how far to push it. That being said, I believe I have an incredibly good shot at making the podium so every second counts. Without a wetsuit, I have got my 800yd time down to 14 minutes and in a race, I generally swim about 10 seconds faster per 100. My question is, the water will be warm enough (68-70 ) to not need a wetsuit. I think I can shave significant time off of my T1 time if I swim in my tri suit and leave my wetsuit at home. Thoughts? Wear it or not?
