I am a pool fish doing 1 hour intervals 3-4 times a week for a couple of years. This year on 15th of July (within a week) I will attend an oper water swimming organization in Bosphorus.
It is 4 miles along the Bosphorus.
Pool temperature I train is 78 F and the sea temperature in the race will be 68 F.
I have 3 questions:
1. what would you recommend me to eat and how many hours before the competition?
2. shall I use some kind of oil to apply to my skin?
3. all kinds of tactics and recommendations are welcome
thanks in advance:help:

Donna, thanks for the nutrition advices. I think I will make a good breakfast 3 hours before the competition. I will also eat banana and yogurt and drink some Powerade/Gatorade before the swim.
Peggy, I searched for Chesapeake Bay Swim and had some good info. I do not have a wet suit but I will consider having one. Standard swim caps are used with unique IDs but maybe they might allow having another one under that. Thanks a lot.
There is the link of the race. Maybe some people over there might consider attending next year www.olimpiyatkomitesi.org.tr/.../bgz07.htm
