Re: Wetsuit Fit--HELP! [sprtymama]
The WM fits me great everywhere-I just don't know if it's "too" comfy if you know what I mean. But, I can get into the M/S. My coach thinks the bigger one will work b/c she's worried the smaller one will constrict breathing and make me freak out (like my very first one did--before my Blue Seventy). But, I think I'm second guessing everything because the Blue Seventy one was by the size charts for them but was too big up top. ARgh!!!

If I weighed 135, which is about 8 lbs lighter than I am now, I'm almost sure I'd go with the smaller one. BUT, that's b/c I'm so small chested. I think that's where the problem is coming in for me. The extra room I have is up around my shoulders. I'm going to try them both on again tonight or tomorrow morning and try to go swim some in them--even if it's just in my sister's pool. :)

In looking at the Xterra size charts, under no scenario (taller or shorter by 2 inches, 15 lbs lighter, etc.), should I be in the M/S. That wasn't the case on the Blue Seventy one. I was only in the Women's Medium/Large category on that one by 4 lbs. I trusted the rep on that one and I should've instead gone a size down there. But, on the Xterra one, I don't know. Like I said, I'm going to try a swim test, even a short one, and see what happens. I think I have until Monday to send my Xterra in for an exchange if I need to. The other thing I'm trying to figure out is would the M/S fit like next season when I may not be in "IM shape" and potentially a bit "fluffier". :)

This is so frustrating!

IMFL will be my first. Have you ever done that one? I'm excited--and totally freaked out! :)
