I have set a goal of swimming the English Channel in 2013. I believe I have given myself plenty of time to train and prepare...(I hope). I am currently heavily involved in longer distance triathlons (70.3 and Ironman distance). My "final" long triathlon will occur on November 21, 2010, at Ironman Arizona. After that, I will take some down time (30 days or so) and then begin my training for my Channel attempt. I am comfortable in the open water. My max distance is 2.4 miles at this point.
Alright, let's hear it. Advice?? Questions?? Comments?? Let me know what you are thinking!!

Cold water training. Get used to it. Well, they say you never do...so get used to never getting used to being in cold water. Pick up some books like "Dover Solo", etc. I just read it this Spring and it gives lots of good advice and insight.
I hope to do it one day as well when I think I can financially pull it off. I know I could do the training and the distance for the attempt.
