What is the trade off...

I am doing a triathlon with a 500 M swim. Water temp this weekend is going to be 68 which is chilly but certainly something I can handle for 500M. I think I am just going to wear jammers because I will save 30 seconds (atleast) not having to change out of a wet suit. Thoughts? (I'll hold 1:15 /100m in jammers I figure).

    In hindsite I should have gone with a wetsuit. There was a storm coming in that morning and the conditions were brutal. 500M swim took 8:30. YUCK. I got sea-sick on the ride home... Curious, do they give swim splits? In many tris (depending on size of field, conditions, where the timing mates are etc) that's a smoking time. Curious as to where you came in with an 8:30 time. Congrats. And better to get sea sick after the race, I guess :)
