Living near the rockies I have little opportunity to swim in salt water.
I’m doing Alcatraz next weekend and was wondering about what to wear under the wetsuit? Would the salt water possibly cause chafing during the bike / run if I wore a shirt or one piece suit under the wetsuit? Am I better off wearing shorts and putting the shirt on in T1?
Never had any chafing problems (that I didn’t have with freshwater).
However, if you have always swam in lakes or pools you might be in the habit of swimming with your mouth open a little. This really sucks in saltwater cause you’re parched and puckered by the end of the swim. Something I found worth being conscious of…
…of which to be conscious?
