GLC, you are AWESOME! Congratulations on a great race. I really value your analysis of each stage and transitions. If I ever do a tri, I'll definitely learn from your tips.
That's a big IF. But I think it's getting smaller.

Thanks, guys!
Hmmm, ditching the wetsuit? I'm pretty certain I could do a sprint without it and it might be a good challenge for me, maybe I will!
I mentioned to my husband last night that I'm thinking about Hagg Lake AND another Blue Lake and he said 'of course you are'.
If I do the Blue Lake courese again - I'll definitely have to look into aerobars. I don't think I'd get much out of them for Hagg, but another flat, out and back like last Saturday's would definitely benefit....

Non-triathloner question:
What advantages does a wetsuit provide over a regular swim suite other than warmth in cold water? Does it make you swim faster?

I don't wear my wetsuit for sprint ones. The water is in the 70s and I'm not in it long enough to get cold. I have issues getting my suit off if there are no pullers. So any gain from additional buoyancy probably gets lost as I land on my bungie trying to get the wsuit off...
I should probably practice... but I won't.
