What is the rule on wearing wetsuit bottoms in a non-wetsuit legal race for Ironman. This question is for Louisville specifically, which is governed by WTC. Thanks.
Are wetsuits allowed at IM Louisville? I don’t see anything on the race website or in the forums. Regards.
If it’s a non wetsuit legal race I would assume you could still wear a wetsuit but not be capable of podium placing or any IM slots that may be available. Even bottoms in a non wetsuit race would disqualify you.
“If it’s a non wetsuit legal race I would assume you could still wear a wetsuit but not be capable of podium placing or any IM slots that may be available.

Wetsuits will be allowed up to water temps of 84 degrees, however, wearing one above 78 degrees disqualifies you from placing or an IM slots.
