Ironman Florida Already!

PS: Still debating sleeveless vs. sleeved. Water is between 70 and 72, which is appropriate for sleeveless, but it's a long distance. My sleeveless wetsuit fits better, but sleeves are warm and buoyant.

I think I'm going sleeveless. After being in the water more, I think it's way too warm for sleeved. I wear a sleeved suit when it's 50s-60s and am comfortable, but over 70? I think too warm.

Good luck Colby!

Florida is flat, but it's also HUMID. Watch your hydration carefully.

Yeah, it's around 50% (more before sunrise/after sunset), and I'm more used to 10 or 20%. Thankfully, it's nice and cool, with temps in the 60s. I am taking nuun tablets on the bike along with straight up water.


Thanks everyone for the good wishes! Gonna race it honey badger style - BRING IT ON, honey badger don't care! Honey badger's gonna race an Ironman! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg)
