What can you guys tell me about this swim. 7.5 miles. I will be travelling about 7 hours so I don't have the luxury of going and checking it out. I will be doing all my training in a pool, which is unfortunate. the lakes won't get above 50 untill may. What kind of yardage should i be looking at? thanks all.

It is long (duh!), and your kayaker is very important!
Cheryl, the race director, is a teammate of mine, and she'd swum it for years before she started running it, and loves to talk about it. Her email and phone number are up on the PR Swim website. They do a great job of managing the event, from camping, food, boats, etc.
I have spoken to her briefly thorough e-mail. I guess that I have made myself a little nervous. I'm accepted to swim it, and im sending the fee in soon. I swim a lot but, i'm not all that sure if it's enough since it is all in a pool. I have no choice here in ohio. And it's SCY. And 85. The colder waters don't bother me above 60 as long as i'm moving.
Does anyone have any direction as to long sets and weekly/daily yardage? i am currently doing 3x5000 yds a week.
