OK I got in. The most I have swam is 2 miles open water. I swim about 10K yards a week with 2 masters workouts a week. Now what. This race is 4.4 miles.
The race date is June 8. I think I can answer my own question... double (or triple!) my weekly yardage, hold yourself back on the start, finally, grit your teeth and "enjoy" gutting it out.
Ideas for training?:confused:

Number 6 this year for me. Keep the training varied or you will be bored out of your mind. I continue to do interval training and tighten the intervals. Believe it or not, one of the best ways to get inshape is to do IM's. String together some 400 IM's and you'll be on your way. Getting acclimated to long swims doesn't take as much as you think.
