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.

The last two years I've been able to stake out a spot on the wall opposite Lake Shore Drive on the side near the registration tent.
I hope to be in the lake this Friday on my way to Madison. I'm blessed in that my in-laws live within walking distance to the lake/beachfront, and as weather permits I've been sneaking down to the lake when we pass through town. :bolt:
