| Beginner  | Cold Water issues! Hello all, I'm getting more and more into doing Triathlons… and have one this Sunday. I have a really bad problem with cold water. I have a very low body fat content and feel the cold terribly - to the extent that I've actually passed out in the past during cold river crossings whilst trekking. I have a wet suit but the water temperature this weekend is a reported 15 degrees. This will be the coldest I've encountered… previously I struggled quite badly in 18 degrees. Do you have any suggestions of anything I can possibly do that might make this swim possible…. I'm keen to compete but don't really want to pass out half way round and drown!!! Any suggestions?? |
