Hey all,

Up in the northern Alabama area how necessary/useful is a wetsuit?  I haven't seen many around that were wetsuit legal.  The Xterra sale looks great and if there is a decent chance I'd be using it a good bit I'll bite.  I'd love some advice from those that have been in the scene longer.

Take care.

Lots of regular tri's are wetsuit legal. There's nothing tying you to specifically north alabama. I know there was a chance that some of the gulf coast tri's would allow wetsuits just b/c it took a while for the water to warm this spring.

Just a suggestion...

South Alabama/Northwest Florida Races

mullet man in April is wetsuit legal, once you get to mid May in the gulf, wetsuit is usally doubtul. Gulf Coast Half Ironman in early May is usually wetsuit legal but after that the water is to hot through August and probably Septembertoo. With the Alabama Coastal being moved to September this year, I expect no wetsuit, but its possible.
