New wetsuit does swimming for me

I had a meeting in Whistler yesterday. On the way back home, I stopped at Browning Lake and tried out my new 19 Riptide wetsuit. My only other wetsuit experiences were with old, ill-fitting wetsuits that I borrowed. This one fits like a glove and is designed specifically for triathlons. It practically did the swimming for me! It gives me a little more confidence that I can do the swim portion of the Vancouver Triathlon next month without drowning.

About

I'm an intranet consultant living in Nelson, BC. My company is One Intranets Inc. I'm the co-creator of ThoughtFarmer, social intranet software that powers enterprise intranets in Microsoft environments. I've been consulting on web and intranet projects since 1995 with a particular emphasis on interface design, information architecture and usability analysis.

I live with my wife, Gina, and our three children, Ana (age 7), Sam (age 5), and Reuben (age 1). Gina is my best friend and the absolute bestest wife a man could ever find. Ana is the most hospitable and intuitive 7-year old you'll ever meet. Sam accosts strangers on the street and engages them in deep conversation. Reuben walks from room to room and creates disasters, washing his hands in the toilet, lifting cats by the tail and eating things he finds in the kitchen garbage.

When I'm not working I'm playing with my family: golf, swimming, snorkeling, hockey, skiing and extreme travel. We're currently escaping winter with a 4-month stint in St. Lucia, West Indies.
