forget the wetsuit!!

Just did a team triathlon 1K swim and was slower than my pool time. I think it screwed up my kick rythym and I had trouble with breathing. Maybe it was a bit too tight, but overall, I think I would have been better without. I noticed the fastest swimmers had no wetsuits. If you are only swimming and don't have to save the legs, do all agree that you should leave the wetsuit at home if the water temp is good? I did alot of training in the pool for this event and I am really bummed that I wore it.
