How do you train for the one hour postal?
Currently I swim about 2100 - 2200yds 4 -days a week - 3 days coached w/ age group kids
1 day same yardage but not coached.
I'm thinking about staying late during my coached days and swim an extra 500 -1000 yds after practice. My thinking is this extra yardage is about what I can do to be able to get home and get dinner on the table. Then increase my 1 day not coached to about 3000 yds and do more distance swims. My personal goal is to do any where from 4200 - 4500 in the postal.

Our team is doing it. We did T30 in Nov and T45 in Dec in prep for the grand finale. I also did the 3K USMS in Nov. The physical part is bad enough but the mental aspect is what gets me. For me the key is starting out slower than you can possibly imagine.
Wow! Wish the masters teams in my area did all that! Sounds like you've had some great preparation! Physical AND mental can get to me . . . I'm planning to take it out mod fast like I did two years ago and see if I'm in better shape to hold on. . . ha ha. What kind of suit are you wearing?
