    Just a question,anyone out there who was against wetsuits for OW but OK with tech suits for pool?If so what is your rational? I am pro-wetsuit for open water races. My reasoning is selfish, I don't like being in cold water. My threshold is 67 degrees. Even then I don't relish the thought of dipping my little toe in the water. I understand the advantage given by the rubber. I accept that I am in a different classification due to my choice. I even understand the name calling by the stout he-men who choose to mock me. I have been called worse names by some here. Alas. I am anti-tech suit for pool racers. Two divisions in the pool would suit (sorry) me fine. It seems that the two groups are cut from a, ahem, different cloth.
