who needs a wetsuit.....

Yo Road! How could I forget? The best part of the day was certainly the motorcycle ride. Perfect day for it. Easy riding and good company. Although, I'm a good swimmer I wasn't prepared for the water temperature or how much more difficult swimming in open water proved to be. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. It was an unusually cool summer with seven weeks of straight rain. Needless to say, those aren't the best ingredients for warm water. Given that I'm a Southerner you'd think I'd have enough sense to buy a wetsuit. Forget it, wetsuits are for wimps. This would prove to be my stance throughout the tri season. Boy did I pay for that in my last tri. Absolutely freezing in mid September. I guess life keeps teaching you the same lesson until you get it. Yep, you guessed it, I still haven't bought that wetsuit. Hmmm...will I ever learn?
