Hi everyone,
I am brand new and have a few questions. My husband and I just finished our class/pool sessions and next week we head to Monterey, CA for our OW.
I guess rather than questions I am just looking for pointers. My only "problem" skill (which I practiced) was ditching and replacing my weightbelt. But I am planning on buying my own weight-integrated BC this week so all I have to do is BC removal and replacement.
I am mostly concerned about mask removal and replacement. Any tips? I find that I want to start breathing through my nose as soon as my mask is off. Definitely don't want to choke on that wonderful salt water.
I feel pretty confident about my other skills. I know that it will be extremely cold but we are wearing the new Henderson hyperstretch 7mm wetsuits. 7mm core warmer and hood (along with gloves, boots, etc.)
Really looking for some pointers and reassurance.
Thanks in advance.
