Re: Snow Row Saturday March 6th in Hull
Not sure if I will be ready for 20 miles this year - but I will certainly work towards that. Glad to hear you got to take advantage of the great weather too and thanks again for all the gear advice. I was quite comfortable out there and very happy to have a changing cape at the end race.

Re: Snow Row Saturday March 6th in Hull
My time was 0:46:02 - not very fast but just 10 seconds behind the first female kayaker (as best I can tell anyway). The race organizers haven't figured out how to distinguish the surfski's from the kayaks, they are grouped together under kayaks and the winner's in that category were on surfski's. T...

Re: dry suit sizing help
To follow-up, I ended up purchasing a woman's Gore-Tex Kokatat drysuit I am having some trouble getting it on and off by myself but I think that it will be ok once it get's used a few times or I develop more muscles needed to pull those zippers. Thanks again for the advice.

I went back and edited my original post after importing these select few pictures into photo shop to use the image re-size tool to shrink them after figuring out that the photo software I was using lacked that feature (no wonder I couldn't find it - lol).

dry suit sizing help
I'm about to make the plunge and purchase my first dry suit. Before I do though I'm wondering about what sort of clothes to wear when trying them on to ensure a proper fit. Will regular street clothes be suitable or should I wear something more like long johns to be sure of a snugger fit?
