Hi:
I am a newbie to open water swimming competition and have only ever done open swims as part of triathlons. I am doing the big shoulders race on Saturday in Chicago and am wondering what the deal is with hydrating or taking GU? What do folks do to refuel on longer swims?
Would appreciate any help you can offer. I sort of signed up on a whim and am now freaking out a bit :)

Thanks all! I have no idea how long it will take me and am pretty used to hiding GU in awkward places and eating them on the go - so maybe I will just tuck one into my suit for good measure!
Appreciate the guidance.
