Trial Swim in My New Wetsuit plus 30 minutes Cycling

It was in the 40's this afternoon - great weather in which to try out my new Rocket Science wetsuit.I jumped in the pool and came shooting straight up. I has no idea how bouyant the suit was. I started my laps and much to my surprise, my speed increased. I had been averaging 35 to 40 seconds per 25 foot lap. I did my firat lap in 25 seconds! For the entire 30 minutes that I swam, my lap times were 30 seconds or less. The suit was fairly comfotable, although I think I should have worked harder to pull the legs up and make sure there was no gap at the crotch. When I took my suit off, my tri suit, which I wore underneath was wet. I don't think that was supposed to happen.

When I got home, I changed and then cycled on the trainer for 30 minutes.
