I always swim in training without a wetsuit, when have a wetsuit race comming up, usually start swimming in the wetsuit in training once a week for the last 3 weeks before the race.
It usually feels uncomfortable, but most of that should be due to the fact that I train with a wetsuit in a warm water pool, HR gets higher as I overheat. Warm water pool for training is the only option nearby where I live.
Appreciate any tips you can provide on how to prepare for IM wetsuit swim, when during the year you regularly swim without wetsuit.
In case it helps, I'm MOP IM swim, usually 1:01-1:02hr in NON wetsuit IM event. Thanks
