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!!

Thanks for the insight Aurora! I am in the process of booking my Pilot. I have contacted several swim coaches and am still trying to figure that part out. I highly doubt my swim coach will travel to the Channel with me. I plan on having my wife help me with my training here in Boise, Idaho. She has agreed to paddle along with me in the various reservoirs and lakes and assist me with my feeding and pace. She will know my swimming in and out by the time 2013 rolls around.
