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 have never done the Bay. My training partner has kicked her yardage up to 14-15K/week with long 4400-4800 sets. Because of time, I'm in the 12K/week range. I have to say that the long sets are giving me lots of confidence...
With so little time left, should I ramp up the yardage? The gal that is swimming 20-25K/week is putting in some sick yardage...thats like 12 hours a week of swimming (including changing, driving, showering, etc).
