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'm against wetsuits because triathletes have ruined the OW events by obsessing about the water temp and whether they will wear the wetsuits. Universally, wetsuit or not, they are all beaten by us swimmers in our ratty lake suits. The type of person that wears a wetsuit in an OW event is typically not the same calibre of swimmer that wears a tech suit at a pool meet. This year and last I did start to notice some tech suits at OW events.
