20 seconds slower... not even worth getting out of bed for races then.
I know what's making me slower though and it's not air density...
-
Does that factor in (the admittedly small effect of) humidity to the density calculation, or are you just using pressure and temp?
As air density decreases with increasing humidity, ideal conditions would be warm, low pressure and high humidity...
Following on from that, would riding in a wet skinsuit when it is warm and dry reduce the air density around the rider?.....

Ha - yes it is a bit like that. We've not tested them properly for a full triathlon but for a duathlon they'd be alright. They could well stay in place for the swim but you'd have to stick them on early to allow them to adhere.
ps. Twitter update about going slow over winter:
