A sleeveless shamu....

At last, I've a wetsuit. Not that I've been pining away for the neoprene thing that clings to my skin the way a mosquito does. It's really a constricting contraption designed to keep me warm in cold water. (Think Seaworld, when the divers ride around on Shamu.) It was a major workout for my forearms yanking the thing on this morning. All the old birds at the community pool were looking at me like I was nuts as I hopped around the locker room. When I finally got the thing on, I realized I was choking. The neck is soooo tight, it left an imprint the way goggles do. The good thing: It keeps me afloat.
So...as I investigate my possibilities for a racing outfit, the wetsuit and the triathlon swimsuit enter the mix. Clearly, if it's cold in St. Pete, I'm wearing the wetsuit. If it's not, no way. I am not lubing my body up with jelly crap to squeeze in and out of the black body armor. But as I dig into the depths of google, I'm just not seeing any advice on this. I am especially not seeing any evidence that triathletes care about how they look in their racing outfit. Which is sad. Surely this community of exercise masochist has some sense of style. Right?
