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.
from my SCM to a lake training I would guess about 10sec/100m .
I hold 1:20 through practice unless we are swimming fast 100's. and in the lake I hold about 1:30
but in a race it has lots to do with current, winds and the people around you. if you might get stuck behind a group swimming slower than you can, but it's too much work to swim through or around them.
