Effort/Power when in cold water

cantwait4bike over 17 years ago

been swiming in 50F deg water. Effort seems a lot more and tired after 30 mins with wetsuit. Normal? or just mental?

I'm not sure but yesterday I swam a mile in 50 degree water (with my wetsuit) and I was pretty tired even tho I usually do 3 miles in the pool. I guess staying warm takes energy. Felt great tho!
