Great Chesapeake Bay Swim 2008

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:

    Thanks for the input on the neck issue. I'll am trying to roll more and rotate neck less and it seems to help. Not sure of the definition of "catch". I do get sore after the Bay swim and I do look at the bridge constantly. Will try to look forward more this time. I've been concerned about zig-zagging and want to swim as staraight a line as possible.
