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!!

Chaos - who's your pilot?
Also, I sent you a private message with my e-mail so you can arrange an invitation for me to the google group.

i did a 3 person relay 9/19/09 piloted by mike oram. it was a great experience having the opportunity to talk to the pilot and observer while my swim mates were in the water. watching them adjust the course every 15 minutes based on our swim speed, tidal push, etc. was enlightening. these guys really know their job, and i can confidently just follow the boat (shut up and swim) without second guessing anything they do.
i will be swimming with pilot Paul Foreman of the Pace Arrow this year.
