    Lise, it is the same place the danskin tri was held and there is no way you need a wetsuit for it. i would say few than 10%, maybe even fewer than 5% of the participants in the danskin tri wore wetsuits. the water was as warm as our local pool.

    Thank you so much for that info. I'm not even going to worry about it, then. I'll do what I usually do, swim in my tri shorts and sport bra under my sleeveless, short-legged "wetsuit". It really serves more as a coverup for my sports bra.

    I don't like competing in just the bra and full trisuit when it's hot out. I'm not comfortable being seen in such form-fitting clothes; in the May tri, when I had to wear the tri suit cuz it was a pool swim, I pulled a shirt over for the bike and run. But it's unlikely I'll want to compete in a lycra onesie and t-shirt in August in Wisconsin!
