I see that the 1st USMS 25K National Championship will be held in Noblesville, IN on July 19. Anyone planning to do this? Sounds sort of crazy. But. . . could be fun to try provided the training is there. . .
Husband just walked by and I mentioned I wanted to *maybe* do this. His response was, "Don't I provide enough for you?"
If only he knew the swimmer's mind. . .
Rob, are you going to be swimming or working the Clemson 10K?Yes, I plan on swimming the Clemson 10K.
And while I carry more, let’s just call it extra insulation; from person experience as long as I’m swimming hard and taking in the calories, I don’t normally get cold during long swims. Unless it gets real cold (40’s -50’s) swimmers who are, well, swimming, normally stay warm. If you look at today’s top marathon swimmers, you will see most aren’t carrying extra weigh for warmth.
