ok since I always get so amazing tips here, lets continue this, so here is my next quesiton, there is a very good chance that the IM Mallorca will be a non Wetsuit swim,so lets see if i can afford any type of Swim Skin ( please keep in mind i'm by now pretty much broke) ,so looked around and see that they seem ot be extremely expensive, so has anyone a advice about something that might be a affordalbe swimskin or is similar to a swimskin  |

Don't waste your money those suits will only save an elite swimmer a few seconds,start getting in some open water practice with no wetsiute so it's not a new experience on race day.

I swam skins in Mallorca around race time last year, you'll be grand. No need to buy one. Trisuit will be fine. Water us toasty and salty buoyant!

Sure you'd have a salt soaked tri suit if you wore it under the wetsuit anyways!
My suggestions would be swim. In tri suit, change to cycle shorts/top in t1, run gear t2...
... Or VASELINE/bodyglide everywhere when you are putting on trisuit.

I also used bodyglide under arms when swimming in skins to stop chafing there.
