It takes work. CONGRATS on building that speed too!!<br /><br />Good luck at the race!!Steve Stenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11419298404210612118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886325526185420203.post-11471878128231700902009-09-24T13:23:21.616-07:002009-09-24T13:23:21.616-07:00BDD: ahaha that "Train the way you race"...BDD: ahaha that "Train the way you race" still makes me laugh! looooove it! <br /><br />thanks for the link to ows clinic too, great top tips :)<br /><br /><br />Beth; yeah i've been tossing up wetsuit vs. tri suit for this race but it takes me 45 secs to get out of my suit, so i've decided to ditch it. if anything, the cold will surely make me swim faster!! <br /><br />once i buy a suit (i;m renting for the season) then i'll have to work at reducing my out of suit times. but in the meantime, it'll be ice block swims for me!tri_alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335653523277261224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886325526185420203.post-15417305868791409072009-09-24T06:19:14.218-07:002009-09-24T06:19:14.218-07:00Is your race this weekend?

If you can ha...Great job conquering the open water! If you can handle the temps, I think you will be glad you didn't wear a wetsuit. For shorter races, I've found that it isn't worth the lost time in transition. You will pass a lot of people struggling to get their wetsuit off. Of course if its cold, wear one! :) Good luck at your race. I can't wait to hear all about it. You will do great!!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850402946096255139noreply@blogger.com
