I've been training for my first open-water swim in a lap pool. The event is only one mile and I've been swimming it in about 29 minutes. Is that fast or not? I'm not entirely sure. Also, how does lap pool swimming translate to open water in terms of time. I know I need to take into consideration the sighting, temperature and not having walls to stop at/push off, but should I expect to swim it in 29 minutes? Or is that unrealistic?:cane:
LMAO.....I resemeble that remark ;)
I'm built more like a beer barrel on walking sticks. :)
I developed and proved that immutable law at nearly every open water swim I've entered when I would get psyched out over all of the buff looking youngsters preparing to enter the water. I almost always climb out of the water well ahead of them. It's the men and women built like penguins that I never noticed before the race who kick my ass.
