I'm waiting for the earth to turn far enough around that folks on the West Coast (of the US) wake up and start answering their phones I'm going to call the folks at Tri-Zone and ask their opinion of the WL vs. WLA fit.

RunningMommy, what do you think is the benefit of sleeveless vs full sleeve? I got a sleeveless short suit after trying a short sleeved suit--with the sleeves I felt like I was scooping up water with every stroke. I passed it on to a friend who loves it, though. My main reason for the shorty wet suit is so I can swim in my bra and tri shorts. At 36D, there's no way in H*LL I'm running in a swimming suit! I ordered the full suit for warmth and bouyancy in colder, longer swims.


I feel lucky with my long legs as an athlete. I am really even more impressed at your IM plans, learning that you're 5'1" and not thin! Have either of you ever seen Jayne Williams' book, Slow Fat Triathlete ? It's hilarious, and filled with useful info for the not-svelte-yet-athletic. I discovered the book in June, devoured it, gave it to my triathlete buddy, Nicole, and have emailed several times with Jayne. Her website is www.slowfattriathlete.com Enjoy! L.
