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 agree, $750 is steep. I think that the Health and Fitness Club that you are talking about has many locations in the area that you can use as part of the membership though. There is a pool near where I live that has a Masters program for $525 annually which includes 6 workouts a week. I'm considering it because the YMCA I swim at right now is selling their facility to a college and moving to another location without a pool. Obviously a sore subject for the swimmers.
As far as work goes, my standard line is: "I hate it when work gets in the way of working out!"
GCBS is only 5 months away.
