  1. Am signed up for Ironman Florida November '06. Looking at
    the pictures and the description of the water temperatures
    in prior years, it appears most folks are using full
    wetsuits. I have a sleeveless. I have seen surfers wear some
    tops that seem to protect them somewhat from the breeze
    after they get wet, but what are the tricks of the trade for
    adding some extra protection for bare arms when you wear a
    sleeveless wetsuit?

    Thank you, Gentlmen and Ladies

  2. Go to the Pro Motion web site. They have great tops for use
    with a short sleeve suit. Price is right also. Second
    recommendation is to look at a Desoto T1 top.

  3. I did your leg work for you. Here is the link to ProMotion.
    scroll down the page and take a look at men's tri suit GR.
    It is the perfect solution for you.

    Greg,

    I'm a cold water wimp and I've done IM Canada once and Lake
    Placid twice in a sleeveless with absolutely no problem.
    Both those were cooler swims than you'll likely to encounter
    in the Gulf.

    Although I doubt you'll need protection for your arms, (68 -
    72 is almost ideal swimming) there's a lot to be said for
    mental comfort and if the clothing additions referenced ease
    your mind (and warm you a little,) then get them. You can
    always choose to use/not use them that morning depending on
    conditions.

    You can sign up for a race 3 years in advance?

  7. Cool! Just bought one of those rash guard shirts the surfer
    dudes wear. Bodyglide doesn't do me any good, I still get
    chafed/rashes.

    No actually, you can't. I meant November 6 '04.
