Great advice, ya'll! HILARIOUS about eating plums before the swim...I think I'll be fine with my usual coffee, bagel, peanut butter, and banana finished 2 hours before the swim. :)
The race sounds like so much fun. Swim25 (are you 25? I am), you're going to fall in love with open water swimming. I did my first OW race in a lake two years ago, and I like it more and more every time I do it, and as I try more and more challenging races (I've since done a swim in the Atlantic ocean and across the Chesapeake Bay).
Ron -- is the Garmin 305 waterproof? This the Forerunner?
When I made this I was 25 now I'm 26. I went swimming in Aquatic Park yesterday to try out the wetsuit and feel the water. Man is that water cold. Alittle seal kept pooping his head up every 100 yards ahead off me. I think with everyone around and the adrenaline I think it will be fine. I have a lot of people around me trying to pysche me out, I don't know why, maybe they're jealous. Alliswim have you done this race before?
