Tried my new wetsuit out at the Y. Water temp around 80. Works very well, but too
warm to do much of a workout. Question: What water temp would be the line for wetsuit
or no wetsuit? Is there a temp set by the event?
Looks like a crutch... walks like a crutch... smells like a cr[]tch....
fwiw, feeding can also be couched as a crutch. it has been
demonstrated to be unnecessary even in long (21 mile) swims:
"... did not touch food or drink throughout the long
swim, but had a light breakfast of canteloupe, cereal,
toast and coffee one hour before starting."
"... ruddy of cheek, bright of eye and full of life ...
gave not the least sign of the great ordeal she had
gone through. She would not even rest on the trip
up the bay and spent most of the time chatting and
enjoying another meal of cold food."
it is not even necessary in order break records:
"... broken the record for the swim ... by seven
minutes and 30 seconds ... in far harsher conditions"
