I was thinking about doing the one hour postal in Jan. I have never done one before, so I printed out the information and had a couple questions.
It says that the rules are govern by 2008 USMS Long distance rules, drafting, flotation, and propulsive devices are permitted. (pull buoys, fins, paddles, wet suits, etc.)
My question is can you wear a watch and can you listen to a waterproof MP3 player while doing the swim?
Also is it best to swim this separate from practice, or does it matter? I swim with age groupers and not sure if during this practice time would be the best time. I really don' t think I want to
swim at our 'Y" because the water is always warm and the pool is a slow pool.

LOL.... I never thought about people breaking up the swim.
Hmmm not sure how I would do it,
I've never done 1 hour without stopping. Thought I should practice to figure out
a pace, etc...
Starting with a 1650 5 min rest, 2 x1000 5min rest between
I did feel faster when doing the 1000's figured I did 3650yds.
Going to take out the first 5 min. rest. and stop at 3500 or so rest 5 min finish up and
see how that goes.
Any suggestions?
