Wetsuit change for race
Quote | Reply
Very quick one.
I have been training/racing for the past few weeks/months in a HUUB archimedes 4:4 as I was given that one.
I have a brand new one today thats a 3:5.
I'm not a strong swimmer and my body position is pretty poor. The 3:5 should help me.
I have a half ironman tomorrow, do I go with the new suit or the 4:4?
Will I suffer for the change in body position or only benefit?

I m usually loath to try anything new on race day. Wetsuits, for me are basically a race only thing anyway. As long as you can try it on so that you know it fits properly I don't see a problem with the new suit. The 3.5 thing is probably not so dramatic as to completely throw off your stroke.

just swim with it today to make sure the fit isn't weird. But like the guy above said, any wetsuit is so different than what one normally swims in you aren't really breaking the "new equipment" rule.
