What would you guys use for Galveston 70.3, if it is wetsuit legal it will be very close to 76... A) Sleeved Vortex 4 (Basically Brand New), B) Sleeveless Vortex (About 6 years old). Looking forward to yalls responses. Thanks in advance.

That's warm for a WS, I would go with the sleeveless even if it's 6yrs old.

PS: a full would be faster but I'd be too warm in a full.

Train safe & smart

I will 1000000000% guarantee it will be wetsuit legal.

It has been getting up to 75 during the day but early morning has been around 72-73. It's going to rain a lot today/tonight so that will cool it down some.

I'd wear a full if I were racing.

True story!

Seriously though, I was pretty surprised it wasn't a wetsuit swim.

Are you saying Galveston was no wetsuit this year?

Galveston was pretty late this year, usually it has been at the end of March / beginning of April.
