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:

I've done that race 2X. Last time was 1996. I think I trained for it by swimming the way I like to (lots of 100s and 200s) until two months prior, and then switching to some variation of 10X500 every day for two months. It works. 15x500 would be better, but who has time for that?
