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.

Ok. We are a month out from this swim....i lost a week due to a massive flu in mid march. ...This week i battled a nasty cold and missed a moring due to preschool activity's. I did swim 8500 straght at 1:15 pace this morning...which kicked my ass, I think it's the cold that got me. ... That's all my shoulders can handle and my massage therapist (wife) is getting sick of me. I'm looking to get a 10k in next week or week after...
I can't help wondering if you're a little overtrained. Maybe make every third week an easy week to let your body catch up? After all, that's where the actual training effect takes place, during rest and recovery.
