I am doing a 4 mile OW swim this weekend (Long Island Sound) and am wondering if I need to eat or drink during the swim. Any suggestions from experienced OW swimmers? many thanks, dave

    i find i can go 2 hours comfortably without feeding. from about 2 - 3 hours i am ok with a hammer gel or two (but don't wait until you need it). i like sustained energy as well as perpetuem for longer stuff, but only if there is someone else to carry it along. good luck
