Water temp

[kelownagirl]

Does being in a wet suit help at all with general warmth once ou're on the bike? I'm wondering if you would be less liekly to freeze once you're riding if you'd been warmer on the swim? I guess it woudl depend on air temp as well...

Me? I suck at swimming and hate cold water. I'll always use a wet suit (long sleeved), as long as they're allowed. Our lake temp was in the low 70's the other day....

I would say that you likely want sleeves. I bought a little jacket and neoprene cap from Promotion that allow me to use my sleeveless in all weather, cheaper than a full sleeve but not as sleek. Even if you could tolerate the water you would lose a lot of energy trying to stay warm.
