Today was the day I tried on the wetsuit in an open water sea swim. Coach organized the Open Water Swim (OWS) this morning. All of us doing Busso registered for the 4km swim, and most of us showed up in rubber.
The route was 8x 500m loops, with a short segment running on the beach and re-entering the water so that the volunteers could record our times. Cut-off was 2:20h.
So could not make it. The wetsuit aided buoyancy, but not speed. At least not for me. I mentally endured 6 loops, but it was already 2h. Not enough time to complete another 1km by the cut-off. :( Each loop got slower and slower. I was a good 15min slower than my usual 1.5km in the pool!
Oh dear, panic.
