I brought the wetsuit for another attempt at swimming, and things worked much better this time. I got it positioned a lot better, and my shoulders were actually free to move. I kept it on for the warm-up, some drafting practice, and deep water sprint starts. I actually won two of the sprints, no doubt aided considerably by the wetsuit. I doubt this would pass muster with FINA. By this point I was well heated, so it was time to strip the wetsuit and do the rest of the workout in normal fashion. It was a day for some strength drills, so I was pretty worked by the end. But it felt really good, so I think I'm getting ready for next weekend.

Sounds like a great workout!
I'm "benched" from competition until the doc says otherwise, so I'm going to have to live vicariously though you next weekend.
What that means is: I'll be expecting you to put in a swim time that is at least as good as what I was hoping to do.
That said, you probably don't want to hold yourself down to my biking and running speeds ;)
