I have my first OW swim in a week. The race will be 1.76 miles (3,100 yards). I have swum the 3,100 for time twice now. My pace is 1:18 per 100 yards in a 25 yard pool.
How realistic is this pace in OW?
There won't be any flip turns. There's the first time OW swimmer factor. I won't be wearing a wetsuit (which I wasn't in the pool). Ect, ect.
Thoughts? Thanks.

You'll be fine. I didn't get in a LCM pool until a week before my first OW event (ever) and I did just fine. I would suggest, if possible, get to a lake with a friend or group and do a little practice and work on some "spotting".
