Great Chesapeake Bay Swim 2008

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:

    ehh.. I have to second Wahoo's sentiment. Whether intended or not.. it is an exclusionary event. It's not like they couldn't have 2 heats or throw the event on two different days. Several triathlons have way more than 400 participants and people seldom die. ;/ Whats the worse that could happen? They end up with more money?
