For the longest time I have said I will do an open water event after I have properly trained. I have come to realize that I will never be “properly trained” because I never seem to stay in the water. My friend said, “Just bullet sign up – I’m sure you will train then.” So I did, and I have began training, if anything from pure fear of failing. I have to admit it is very exiting and very, very challenging.
The event is the Jim McDonnell Lake Swim in Reston, VA, this May. If anyone has any experience and advice, I openly welcome it. Also, I have a question about a “cable swim” – what is it?
Thanks for the input, Wayner.
Wayner –
As someone used to say “In for a penny in for a pound”. If your feel comfortable swimming the distance, go for the 2-miler!
The longer the race the more you can focus on and learn navigation and other open water tricks, instead of just getting into it and it’s time to finish.
