Thanks for the encouragement women.....I went to an open water swim at Folsom Lake this evening, and it was lik 58 degrees according to one of the guys. BBBBrrrrrrr......I had a sleeveless wetsuit to try out, and I didn't like it. Now I'm going to start looking for a full one to perhaps purchase....

I'm looking forward to maybe doing the Tri For Fun in June at Rancho Seco near Sacramento. If I can get through the swimming I will. So now I'm focusing on that.

I appreciate all the info everyone puts out there, it's really very helpful!
