I see for the 3 mile Gatorman you have to have a 90 minute USMS 3 miler within the last year to qualify. Are there any other local 3 milers in the area? Haven't seen any....
Sort of like you need experience to get experience?

Hi Chris,
I know it was a while ago when you first posted, but I thought I would reply anyway.
I entered the Gatorman last year without having ever swam a three mile race. I had done several two mile races and was pretty sure that I could make the cut time so I took a chance. There wasn't any problem with them accepting my entry.
I ended up loving the distance and had a great time. I plan to swim it again this year. Oh yeah, I won my age group, too. Who knew????
Good luck!
