Interesting Article in the WA Post about the suits

I'm against wetsuits because triathletes have ruined the OW events by obsessing about the water temp and whether they will wear the wetsuits. They haven't ruined them for me. I don't own a wetsuit and compete in a fair number of OW events. I welcome the wetsuiters as it increases attendance and thus awareness of this sport. Where's the harm in that? Also, triathletes obsess about everything, not just water temps. It's in their DNA. :)
