Advices for Short Course Race

Hi all, I am looking for advice on two questions in a short course race (sprint tri).

1. Swim - the water are at 22C and I dont own a wet suit. I swam in the lake last week and it was nice w/o a wet suit. Should I rent a suit or swim without? If I swim without - what to do with the HR chest strap? Put it at T1?

2. I am usually running with calf compression sleeves. Is there a problem to wear them during the bike portion as well?

Thanks!

    Avi, race time!!!!! wear the strap no need for the suit BUT if you rent it you can wear full gear (tri top, HR strap, calf sleeves) under it which makes life easier. NO WAY you are putting on clothes in T1 (by yourself) or those compression sleeves...try it now at home in the bathtub....practically impossible.
