True OW conversion...

On a "true" openwater course what do you consider an appropriate time conversion? By true I mean, no current, accurate distance not swimming into too many folks and not going off course. Another way to ask is I went a 25:46 in an 2000M in a LCM pool. That is 1:17.5 per 100M. What could I expect to swim in an open water 1500M per 100? Thoughts?

    My very unscientific results from yesterday: wearing the same suit I wore for the T-2000 I swam a "timed" 750 M swim in 10:31 yesterday. That is 1:24 per 100M. I felt pretty good, didn't have any major sighting issues and the conditions were pefectly calm. (I put on a finis amphibian jammer and timed myself again. I went a 9:57. I wonder what a wet-suit would do...)
