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:

George, all kinds of nutrition is forbidden during this race, so I have no choice. I drink water during my pool workouts (not before the workout because I need to go to the mens room and I hate to go out of the water during the workout).
The water will be colder than the pool water and if I drink enough, I might have trouble. I plan to stop drinking 2 hours before the competition. It is not a very long course and I hope I can handle it.
Thanks for the advices
