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. . .
So how hard is it?
Figure it is in a lake so waves and not a factor.
Figure again it is in a lake so it will be beyond boring.
what do you figure the level of fitness needed to finish?
It will be like doing an ironman. If your goal is to finish, piece of cake (with not much increase in training level). If your goal is swim fast, pain beyond your wildest dreams (and a great increase in yardage leading up to it).
