I wrote before and got some great advice. I am doing a 1 mile swim in the bay on June 10th. I have not been in the pool regularly training. This week I got in 3 times. The first day I did 4 laps straight. The second day I did a 500, 400, 300, and 200. On the third day I swam 60 laps. I do all this in a 30 minute-40 minute time frame. Do you think I will be okay if I continue to do something like this? Any other training ideas. I am a teacher and have a 2 year old, so there is not much free time. I want to be ready, but can't spend hours each day training. Agin any ideas would be great. I am just looking to finish this event, I'm not trying to break any records. I just don't want to have to be pulled from the water.

Being pulled from the water is OK! Not participating for fear of being pulled from the water is OK as well,....but not quite as OK ;^)
@ 55 years of age,..I compete against myself. Set goals for yourself that are challenges,..goals that when pondered ,....give you a hollow feeling,..goose-bumps,..that scary,.. pit-of-the-stomach feeling,..you know what I mean.
Better to be carried from the arena than no never have entered the arena. Life is short,..eat dessert first.
