Hi all. I am about 8 weeks out from a 5K Lake Swim. I am a strong pool swimmer but never done this distance in "open" water - pretty new here. I am convinced I can muscle though it if need be, but would like to make a competitive age group showing.
I am training almost exclusively in pool, so looking for advice, links, or books on workouts, distances, pace, taper (?), etc. Thanks for any advice.

Great advice from all. I've got some OW experience - races up to 2M. But good point that there is no real substitute for OW training. Anyone know any good spots in Northern VA or surrounding areas........
