Stay out of water!
Staying out of the 40 degree water was definitely my top priority! I had on wetsuit tights under the shorts, 5 mil booties with two wool socks underneath in trash bags. Up top I had my sock monkey hat and then about 5 layers of dri-fit material on. Could not go outside before the race without shivering! After the first mile I was sweating and my hands loosened up. It was hopefully the coldest race I will ever do!
