open water swim today
I went with dh and 2 others to one of the lakes today to try the new wetsuit.
I was concerned because the other 2 girls who seem the same size as me had ordered larger wetsuits ( we ordered them thru the triclub here)
Well after I wiggled and squirmed and pulled up up up and then wiggled some more...I was in!
We did approx 1000 meters- the water was COLD!!! I didn't put my face in the first 300meters- I thought it would freeze off- but then once it was wet it was better in the water because the wind hitting my face made it really cold-

The wetsuit seemed alright- I have never swum with a wetsuit.. they make you sooo FLOATY! It was weird but a good weird.
My major concern now it getting the wetsuit off!
It definitely sticks at ankle and wrists.. bodyglide???? Suggestions anyone?
I think the size will be ok, the other girl who had a larger one said hers filled with a lot of water- mine ..very little so I think that is better.. right??

With the first race coming in 3 weeks I will be practicing T1 lots I think
