Spiderman 3

Today I bought my first wetsuit. I haven't raced or swam in a wetsuit before, but I will have plenty of "play time" to test it out in the Ironman. I hear the water in Lake Placid is not as warm as the water in Texas. There are some serious crazies that say a real Ironman is done without a wetsuit, because they help with speed and buoyancy. With 2.4 miles to swim, floating and floating swiftly are two things that are starting to sound pretty good.

The only thing I know about wetsuits is that they make you look like Venom from Spiderman 3.
