I'm getting desperate.
I am up for my first ever triathlon in september and some open water
swimming coaching in July, and cannot find a triathlon wetsuit. I
need help/advice.
I live in the back end of nowhere in the UK - there are no "wetsuit
shops" just 2down the road" to go and vsisit - I wouold be looking at
a round trip of aboput 10 miles to visit the nearest one at least.
The rub is that I am 5'7" tall (173 cm or so), 16 stones in weight
(224 Lbs/103 Kg), with a chest size of 48 inches (122 cm), waist of
34" (86 cm) and inside leg of 27" (68.5 cm). It seems that suits "on
the web" do not fit my body shape - the all important measurement I am
told is chest size... but typically this leaves me with a suit that
would be 8 inches too long. I would consider just chopping off the
bottom 8" (!) but the other concern is the crutch - it is likely to be
too low.
Aside from me miraculously losing another 3 stones in a few weeks, has
anyone any pointers to stocists/makes that would would suit be best?
I guess shorities might be a better bet than a full suit but even they
are provinfg difficult to find in the right size..
cheers
