I am hoping to do my first open water swim this summer, its a one mile swim. I was looking at the past results of the event online and I am confused by some of the times. The winning time was 15:30, that is moving pretty good. However there was a 67 year old man who finished it in just over 20 minutes (kudos to him). And 75% of the people who swam it did it under 25 minutes and this includes a lot of 50-60 year olds. Is it possible the course really isnt a mile? Or do I need to ramp up my training?
Currents are the worst ! Inland lakes also have them !
I knew it!! Last year, I thought I was totally shredding a 3K and ended up with a much slower time than usual. Swim felt good and I had plenty of energy, but the third leg of the triangular course (had to be done 4X) felt like I was swimming a bit up stream as if in a slow moving river.
