So last Thursday I went and purchased a closeout Tri Suit for just under 100 dollars. The people at Tri Zone were a good help. I felt like a complete n00b XD I picked the tightest one that would still be a comfortable fit. I was all ready to do open water swimming on Saturday morning, but on Friday night I checked the temperatures... 49 degrees Fahrenheit. I checked what temperatures you started getting hypothermia. 50 degrees.
Well shoot.
So I completed by Saturday swim of... not that many meters in the pool at my gym. I think I'm still going way too fast without realizing it. I need to learn to pace myself in the swim better.
So to swim in open water, I would need a wetsuit. I returned to Tri-Zone on Saturday and another employee helped in selected the fit and style that would fit my price point. A new suit from last year's model turned out to be the winner. Unfortunately they did not have it at the store, so I returned on Monday to pick it up. :3
Holy mackerel, it was TIGHT!
It was literally a cardio workout just to get inside the suit. I was sweating bullets just trying the suits on, but now I know I would be very warm even in the morning temperatures. I'm very excited to go try it out on Saturday morning!
For now, more cycling, and concentrate on weight lifting.
