Thanks for the warm words!
The event was actually two races...first a one mile, open water swim. then the Aquathlon, a 2 KM run , a 1/2 mile swim, then a 2K run. The water was 77 degrees, so a wetsuit did not seem necessary.
I guess there were three other guys out of 50 who did the mile swim in a speedo. No one did the aquathlon in a speedo, except me.
I tried on tri-suits, but I swim all the time in a brief, and I just don't like how the tri suit fits...plus tri suits are expensive!
I do understand how triathlons become addictive, it was a fast two hours once it was all said and done!
