Sometimes people freak out because it feels constricting. And I'm not swim coach, but looking down is better than looking ahead - it helps keep your butt and legs closer to the surface of the water so you create less drag.Angela and Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196403668528302122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32681913.post-50068421561021260812009-07-31T20:10:02.084-04:002009-07-31T20:10:02.084-04:00Good luck this weekend!

Might as well take full advantage. The run is flat too, so you should be fine. Hopefully your swim won't get canceled like the one at Philly Women's Tri in mid-July. Though it's an advantage if you don't love the swim!

No weight loss to speak of post-weaning for me but I am dealing with some other health issues which may be interfering. Hope it works for you though. At least I am getting in more workouts.Nitsirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05180758156444549882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32681913.post-5145058779237015322009-07-31T02:16:57.104-04:002009-07-31T02:16:57.104-04:00Exciting stuff!

It'll make you a lot more comfortable getting in b/c you won't shiver, it'll definitiely make you faster, and that poor wetsuit is probably in some sort of depression/funk from not being used and I'm sure it would LOVE a little activity. ;)<br /><br />Have fun this weekend!!Michelle Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301323188060167291noreply@blogger.com
