I'm considering taking my (new!) wetsuit down to the lake this weekend to try it out, but the water's probably ridiculously cold. If you can find something to practice "sighting" with this week, it will be a great opportunity for you to practice swimming in a straight line regardless of which side you're breathing on. I've never seen it, but I've heard horror stories of the entire field veering off course in races because everyone was following the leader. Enjoy your trip!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
