Training for Long Open Water Competition

I am a strong swimmer and competitive triathlete, but I am starting to compete in longer races, Half ironmen and ironmen. I am currently signed up for a 4.4 mile open water swim and would like some tips or advice on what to do to train for this race. I am planning an ironman a few months later so I can't spend all of my workouts in the water. Any suggestions on good training programs or workouts that won't break the bank??

There are several workouts on my website at www.Doversolo.com, as well as at www.usms.org/longdist. If you have other questions, feel free to contact me directly.
