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 guys!
I've cut back a bit and suddenly my 100's got 5 seconds faster!
I could cut back more since I'm still a bit tired and sounds like I can get by on less yardage. I feel reassured that I'm somewhat on track for this event. So more IM's and more sprints. That works for me. Thanks!
