I plan on doing the 5K championships without a wetsuit, but I also plan on a non sanctioned 6 mile swim and some other team tri's this summer where I wetsuits are permitted.
I was wondering how much faster a 1000 time would be with a wetsuit. Anyone have good experience or numbers for this?
I may put it on and try a pool 1000 to see what the difference is, but I would like to avoid the test.
I would like to use the wetsuit if it will be faster.
You don't bring a knife to a gun fight. If you show up to a triathlon that allows them and you are not wearing one, don't expect to be first out of the water if someone with equal pool times is wearing one.
It's a crutch for poor swimmers and sometimes necessary for fast ones to win.
I sense a pool / triathlon rift forming.
I do what makes me faster. I don't let the air out of my tires before a bike race.
