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:

Last Fall, think it was Oct, went to BaySwim.com & found out the swim registration had ALREADY closed out. Were they kidding? 8+ months before the event goes off? Apparently not! Did the swim in '03 & there was the New Years rush to enter, which was bizarre & silly but doable. Now the organizers in their fascist zenith have made it even more difficult & exclusionary to participate in this point to point by pushing the date further out. I say baloney to these guys! Open water events are supposed to be inclusive not exclusive. Did contact them to make sure & they wrote back that the 1 mile was still open & I was free to enter that. Gee, y'all are to kind, think I'll pass on your swim & your inflated egos though. Let's see the registration for the swim for 2009 should be up on Lin-Mark.com any minute now, better hurry & do the signup!!!
