Individual reactions?
Posted by: qajaqer2 on Dec-02-12 9:23 AM (EST)

Whether a wetsuit/drysuit is for you can also depend on you and your body. I ran a Thanksgiving road race on 30's temp. and when it was over, walked to the car and immediately took off all of my sweaty clothing and put on new socks, undies,sweats etc. Drove in a warm car about 30 minutes to a Denny's for breakfast. Got inside, had a hot cup of tea and then started shivering. I couldn't stop. Husband had to go out to the car and get his jacket too. I wouldn't wear anything that stayed wet now. You never know.
