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.

Well that makes me feel better. I'm kind of a person who over prepares for most things and then on the big day just kind of do it without thought. Right now I do long straight swims every other wed. For example; 1500 WU, 4k on 52:00, 2x2k on 26:00, 2 x 1k on 13:00, 2x 500 on 6:30. 250 wd. I feel good that these days will set me up fine. It's not the distance, it the pace right? My main issue this year has been getting these damn colds. the take me out of the pol for 3 days. I'm also training for cleveland marathon on 5-17 and then IMKY in august.
For those of you that have done this swim, how was it? water quality, TEMP, current? I spoke to the director a little but, I like to hear it from a few sources.
