Postal 1 hour

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.

  • Another thing you may want to consider is some lubricant for the underarms and neckline. Chafing can occur when you get pumped up doing this amount of swimming without breaks, or just from the repetitiveness while continuously swimming for this amount of time. From personal experience and the result of no vaseline protection prior to last year's 5K, I had to walk around with my arms outstretched for about a week from the underarm chafing. OUCH. As I'll be doing my OHP tomorrow night, about to put the "glide" into the gym bag right now.
