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.

Practice swimming with your eyes closed,..it will help you to swim in a straight line. Also, practice looking at the end of the pool,..Gary Emich calls it "alligator eyes".
