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. . .
Goal would be to finish.
Probally lead off on a SKY relay. Then go the rest of the way solo. Think they will let you do that?
Dum Question: If it is a set course why do we need a kayaker?
Of course there is the feeding issue, but I am sure something could be worked out with a platform.
I have used a kayaker for open water where a guide was needed but this is a lake.
I would think they would let you do both if you are lead off for a relay (I do that a lot in triathlons--swim leg of relay and then keep going individually).
The answer to your next question--lawyers. Liability is too high. They will never let you go alone.
