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:

Lighten up, Wahoo. The Bay Swim went to a lottery entry system last year. This year the lottery closed on Nov 14. This system is a little more equitable than the crazed on-line rush of the previous entry system. And, I can safely say, Chuck Nabit and Linda & Mark Toretsky are not fascists nor do they have inflated egos. They are three of the hardest working people in the sport.
The Bay Swim is the premier open water event on the east coast. Due to its extreme popularity everyone must prepare in advance and play by the rules. Maybe you'll make it in 2009.
