Expert  1066   Raleigh |  Subject: 1 swim question, 1 bike questionswim first: can wetsuits hurt your form. Not while your wearing them, but once you are out of open water and back in the pool. My alignment feels off when i go back to the pool after a few OWS. Are my legs really sinking more, or does it just feel that way after having the help from the wetsuit? Now the Bike: Another tingly finger question. My left hand goes numb in the aero position. Only the left, and only in aero. wht do ya think? |

Sounds like pinching/excess pressure somewhere, but I think this is hard to answer without looking. |

Master 1858 Salt Lake City | Subject: RE: 1 swim question, 1 bike question I tend to get more tingly feelings/numbness in my left hand on longer rides because I move my right hand around a lot more switching gears and grabbing my water. I ride a roadie with no aeros though, so YMMV. |

It may be too tight when your wrist is bent...I am not being silly either, thats really good thinking. Simple, but just may be it... I have this issue sometimes, it was in both hands, had a bike fit, right is gone, none in the left for a while... but thats the arm with my HRM.... Gonna try it one notch looser... CHECK OUT THE BRAIN ON TRIOSAURUS!!!! |

I ride a roadie with no aeros though, so YMMV. Thanks for this! I used to have problems with both hands going numb and I've since made a conscious effort to take the pressure off my hands and stabilize myself more with my core- but still my left hand will go numb on really long rides. And this is exactly why! For what it's worth, I did try switching watch hands a while back, thinking this was the problem, and it didn't help. But it could. |
