This brings up another question I have, as a relatively inexperienced OW swimmer. Wetsuit, yes or no?
I've done Big Shoulders in 71 degree water. This will be about a 50 minute swim in mid to low 60's water. The web site says wet suits are "strongly recommended" which means I'll probably go for comfort and get one. Last year a 17 year old from our team set the course record in a B70.
