Start of Triathlon Season

My first triathlon race of the season is next weekend and I'm looking forward to knocking the rust off. I also realized recently that all six of the triathlon races I decided to enter this year have open water swims, and all but one will potentially be using a wetsuit. I usually have at least a couple of races each year that are pool swims so this year will be a change from the norm. Since my ironman race will be in the ocean and using a wetsuit, it's probably better that I don't have any pool swim races this year. The only thing I'm a little concerned about is that I've never done a race in salt water before. One of the races I've decided to do this year is in the Chesapeake Bay, so hopefully I will get a taste (pun intended) of what it's like to swim in salt water before I get to Florida in November.
