First Wetsuit Swim

Last swim before the race today, a little over 800 yards with the wetsuit on to make sure I at least swam with it once.  The fit is perfect.  I was a bit surprised at the difference and additional glide you get with the suit.  Stroke rate is typically around 18 per 25 meter length in the pool, and I was at 15 with the suit on.  It seems to be going on a bit easier than the first time I tried it on as well, so all looks good.

Leaving town tomorrow and hitting the pre-race briefing, expo, and have to rack the bike as well.  The forecast is a bit unpredictable as it looks like a slight chance of rain in the morning on Sunday with highs in the afternoon reaching into the mid 80’s.  That will mean humidity and I will need to make sure to take my Enduralytes.  Tomorrow I will put up some photos from the race site and transition area and the main focus of the day will be to get there safely, get checked in and setup, and get off my feet.
