Just checked the water temperature! 60 fahrenheit.
I don't have a wetsuit, that's crazy cold...no?

i just did my first sprint on sunday in 60 degree water and ther ei sno way i could do it without a wetsuit. i had trouble breathing propperly even with. i did mine ina pretty thin suf wetsuit and the flexibility was pretty good. i would recomend renting one as well and try and get a few swims int eh cold water with it. i also doubled up my swim cap wich i felt helped.

I petered out!
I had them switch my event to a duathlon. I can handle the extra mileage running, but with no wetsuit and to little training, I'll save my triathlons from mid-June through August.
...I have my first sprint this Sunday. I'm not excited at all about it and now wonder if I should have, or still should, change it to a duathlon. While I know I can do a 1/2 mile swim, I also know it will be ugly.
Anyone want to jump in here with some sage advice?
