I am a 58 year old lifelong pool swimmer. Last year I completed several 5k open water swims and enjoyed them. I am looking to try the 12.5 mile key west swim and I wonder if it is doable for me. I currently swim about 8000 meters per week and complete one long 5 mile continuous pool swim per month. I average 28 minute miles for the long swim.
My work and family commitments will likely prevent me from substantially increasing training mileage. Moreover, my body needs recovery time - roughly 3 days after the long swim - that exceeds that of my training partners. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
Got your email. I'll send you a training plan and some info tomorrow from work. You can do this. Don't look at what others have done, look at what YOU CAN do. :)
