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:
Scott,
Where do you train up in Arlington? I'm moving up that way next week and will be living in Rosslyn. I'll still have access to my favorite places down in Hampton on weekends, so it is weekday morning/eves I'm looking for a place to train.
Check out the Potomac Valley LMSC Website for places to train. Lots of options, and lots of fellow forumites to swim with. Plus some groups out in Annapolis who go out on the rivers during the spring.
Congrats on the move!
