Hey everyone, i have searched the previous threads but couldn't find anything in regards to my question...
i am gearing up to do my first marathon swim next year and i was wondering about some things. I have done a few ironmans and they serve chicken broth on the marathon, on here i have read that many of you like tea for warmth and to settle the stomach...seeing how i am not much of a tea drinker i was wondering if any of you have tried chicken broth during a swim? Also, not having much experience in salt water, what do you think that combo would be like (i don't have much availability to salt water--i live in Ontario) so is this something you would think would work or to stay away from (swimming in salt water and drinking chicken broth?)
I hope this makes sense, and i would appreciate any help!
looking forward to all of your expertice and advice!

Where do you live in Ontario, I know all kinds of places to swim there. I used to swim in Lake Ontario, Lake Simcoe, Rice Lake although lots of weeds, Georgian Bay, Willcox Lake north of Toronto, Emerald Lake, Kelso water reserve, even the Humber River, the waterfront at the CNE and the Credit River where Cliff Lumsdon trained.
I just got an email from Patty Thompson see her story half way down this page swimdownhill.com/.../page7.html the oldest female to swim accross lake Ontario it said Kim Lumsdon Cliffs daughter is scheduled to cross Lake Ontario the first weekend of August. Then Colleen Sheilds is going the week after. They both want to be the oldest female swimmer to cross.
I am starting out from Vancouver and driving to the Hamilton, Burlington, Tornto on Mon, then on to Montreal, Trois Rivers, La Tuque and Robervalle Quebec and visit with friends where the pro races took place when I raced. May even go to PEI, Atlantic City and even see if the sharks are still in Narragansset RI
