Generally the consideration of a good wetsuit for the triathlon is an afterthought. For the swimming segment to be successful, there are many things to consider about a wetsuit.

Some triathlon governing bodies and certain events have regulations about whether a wetsuit is permitted. Most allow you to wear a wetsuit if the water is below or 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Rules and regulations may also differ in the different categories, such as children’s section, professionals and swim length. Be sure to check out the regulations and ask an official if in doubt. Don’t wait until race day to find out the time spent training and getting used to your wetsuit is wasted.

Caffeine can be absorbed by the body very fast, with peak concentration reached in around one hour. The half-life of caffeine, the time required for the body to eliminate one-half of the total amount of caffeine, varies widely among individuals. Depending on factors such as age, liver function, pregnancy, and some medications, caffeine’s half-life is approximately five hours in healthy athletic adults. Women who take oral contraceptives can increase this time to five to ten hours, and in pregnant women, the half-life is roughly nine to eleven hours. Therefore, in order to find your individual optimal time to take caffeine may take some experimenting.
