Navy Seals Love the Cold
I swear I have work to do, and I will do it. Just not right now.
Just want to send a very caucasian shout-out to the people at bikesportmichigan.com where I found the tri-bike article. Turns out they also have a guide to wetsuits, which I (re)discovered today. Point 3 on their "what's the big freaking deal about a wetsuit?" checklist:
Neoprene never sounded so good.
At the very end, they talk about rapid removal of your wetsuit. They seem to think that I'd want to rip it off, hop on a bike, and ride a couple dozen miles. And then cap it off with a leasurly 6 mile run, just to work the kinks out, of course. Who are these people? I'm planning to wrap a blanket around me, wetsuit and all, and take a nap on the concrete while the two Shots go do their thing.

- Warmth. It’s 7:00AM. The water is freezing. Unless you entertain fantasies of being a Navy SEAL, cold water sucks. Your wetsuit will wrap you in a warm cocoon of insulative neoprene. You may never know just how cold the water is. Navy SEALs usually use wetsuits anyway.
