I'm doing my first one in two weeks. Any tips from the veterans? I'm shooting for 5,000 yards which I think works out to about a 1:12 pace per 100.

I'm thinking about it. I've never swam an hour non-stop (the longest to date has been 42 minutes in a 2.5k OW event). I'm guessing I could do 4,000-4,500 max. Probably closer to 4,000 because I'd probably want to stop at least twice, just to keep things sane.
Has anyone done this and regretted it later? I'm referring to injuries sustained from attempting something you have no business doing.
