Btw, I like to think I can handle pain, but I have to draw the line at folks hammering me where I live. Jeff... I hear that wetsuits really help with speed because of the buoyancy. I guess that is why they ban them above a certain water temp. Here in Hawaii they are not allowed in the triathlons. I can see why you would need one in the Gulf especially in April. I am a cold water wimp. Heck, I used to wear a wetsuit when I used to surf in California... in the summer.

You'd be in the top half of most tri swim starts with that split. I struggle to maintain a 2:00/100, i'd love to have a 1:50 avg! I ordered a wetsuit online and it is scheduled arrive today! My Oly tri is on April 24th in the ocean so it was about time I got one....gonna be pretty cold still. I am hopeful the added buoyancy will give me a 1:50/100!

Downhill skiing and base-jumping are also on that list....of course, I'm only kidding! :) Looking at that video reminds me of the Sport Science episode where a guy gets a tennis ball rocketed at the boys, all while he's blind-folded and hands behind his back. They wanted to measure heart rate, adrenaline and other chemicals that are released. But the guy was a volunteer....not sure I'd volunteer for that!
