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:
Was going to wear it for warmth.....the one I see says it protects from chill. A friend of mine swam last year, wore a wet suit but said she was too warm in it and suggested a rash guard. If water is over 65 I probably will just swim in bathing suit only, as I find that cold water ceases to be 'cold' after like 2 minutes of swimming.
I have done the race several times. I prefer to swim without my wetsuit unless the water is under 60 degrees. You will be fine in just a suit. See you there!
