Compared to running or biking? A 5k swim is roughly equivalent to a half-marathon run. I can't imagine anyone would run 13 miles without even a sip of water.

  • Hey, I resent your insinuation. Any drop I've drunk during a 5K was involuntary, ya dig? OK, seriously, I'm not quite sure a 5K is equivalent to a half-marathon. I do know that swims of over 5K require drinking and perhaps feeding (i. e. some glucose). At this point I defer to wiser minds as I haven't gone much beyond the 5K yet.
