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 and Treebox. I just moved to Arlington also - up behind Keybridge Marriot. I'm interested in joining a group to swim in the open water once it warms up in Spring. Gameplan right now is to find someplace in the Rosslyn/Balston area to swim. Maybe Wash/Lee High School? Any advice during your hunt for a place to swim would be most appreciated(SCY pool? - I don't mind taking the subway to Crystal City). Don't hesiate to contact me via e-mail. This year will be my first GCBS and I'm getting pretty stoked.
