hi everyone,
i want to swim the in big shoulders open swim in chicago (2.5k), my first open water swim event. i'm 51 yrs old, male, and i'm a very good lap swimmer; sometimes will swim in the lake during the summer. i don't belong to any organization.
i think of myslef as a groove swimmer, just like to find the groove and stay with it, will swim between 1-2.5 miles a shot, 4x a week.
any suggestions for training for the swim. any suggestions overall fro the swim. never done anything like it before!
thanks, mark
Mark,
Try and get in a couple of open water swims before the race and work on sighting a little bit. If you are in the Chicago area you can swim at the same beach where Big Shoulders will be held.
Plenty of people there swimming on weekends.
