    new wetsuit on
    I ordered it a while ago from a Tri dealer guy.
    It is a QR ultra full- was a pretty good deal I think
    my problem is, I am right on the border for the weigth between getting a large and a med.- MY weight fluccuates right at the border: up a lb I'm large down a lb I'm a med. My height was about in the middle for both! My length is all in my legs- when I talked to him I decided to go with the Med.
    So it arrived and I have been afraid to try it on- but tonight after eating icecream for supper ( don't ask) I threw caution to the wind and tried it on.

    I can get it on! Yippee! I know I need to swim in it to really know but I am happy I can get it on- just feels a bit snug around the neck- I am not sure if I am just not used to it or if it is too small- I am going to try swimming in it this weekend- The tri club is having a BBQ at the lake so that will be a good opportunity
    The cure for anything is salt water;
    sweat, tears or the sea

    Woo hoo!!!! Tell us how your test-swim goes! Just be sure to bodyglide that neck. I learned the hard way from a nasty case of "neck chafe" to keep that neck lubed up nice!

    Yippppeeeee Pika. The suit will stretch out a bit in the water so you likely have the right size. I'll just second the body glide on the neck suggestion. Chafing there is a big issue since you're always twisting your head around to breath.
