In running, front running is a perfectly acceptable racing tactic. It could actually be utilizing a strength. Is it the same in swimming? It seems like I've read a lot about negative splitting and pacing. Does anyone here front run? (I think I've seen Kate Zeigler employ that strategy ...) Do we have to commit to hurt or is it better to commit to pace? (Sorry if that sounded like a Sex & The City question.)
The race itself isn't the hard part, it's the training. I ran a marathon about 6 years ago, absolutely pathetic time (I blame all my fast twitch muscles). I just have loads and loads of respect for anyone who would chose to swim 18 miles straight ... Keep us updated on the training and watch out for sharks!
