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:

    Why so prickly about the venue, dude? :duel:Guess the event is a victim of it's own success, the uber organization, Federal agencies involvement, etc. is all way over the top. It's a bloody open water swim not rocket science, geez! Do know one thing: after that swim knew way more about bridge construction & engineering than I ever really wanted to.
