wet suit woes
among the many trivial things that overflow out of my brain on a daily basis is figuring out exactly what to wear for the swim portion of the tri in…SEPTEMBER. that’s right, it’s over 6 months away and i allow this to take up valuable real estate in the tight quarters of my brain.
in addition to training for the ability and confidence to SWIM that portion, i am working up the courage to strut around in a wet suit.
i have no idea what kind of wet suit to wear. i wouldn’t know what it should feel like. i also have no idea if i will stick with this particular sport, so i am intimidate by the notion of BUYING one.
recently i have been hearing about wetsuitrental.com. seems like a good concept. 40 bucks for the weekend of the event. but, i’d want to practice once or twice in it in open water. plus, will it be the right ‘kind.’ are there various ‘kinds?’ i know there are, but how much does it really matter. do i want shorts, tank, sleeves…? what if i LOVE it and wish i’d spent those 40 bucks on my own? they are SO expensive!
i don’t feel at all better for having vented, which usually i do. BUT, just MAYBE, someone has insight? ANY INSIGHT would be welcome insight. you know how to find me…what’s a gal to do?
