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.

Not Old Navy, but Lake Monona, Madison, WI, is August 23rd. You can swim the 2.4 miles as USMS Championship competition swim or as non-Championship swim.

Yep, that's the one. I'm doing the Championship race. Didn't see much difference between it and the non-championship except the "non" allows wetsuits. Figured I'd see what time I could post and enjoy the event. A friend swam the Ironman event in Madison last year and said the Monona Lake Course was great.
