Got a sprint coming up soon and I am debating the merits of wearing a skinsuit during the swim vs possible time lost in pulling it off. Would time savings be greater for 500 yrd swim as opposed to the struggle of getting the damn thing off?
Why not wear it for the whole race? Or just take the top off during the run.
I wore one in 5 sprints i did last year. As i wasn’t competing for one of the top 3 OA spots i didn’t see a problem wearing it. If i gained anything on the swim time from wearing it im sure it was worth more than the extra 2-3 seconds it literally took to take off the swim skin. It really is extremely easy to take off (especially the short leg suits) and worth it in my opinion. why not?!
