I've been swimming for 5 months. I had to learn to swim, then breath bi-laterally. I have swam in open water four times. I have a kayaker next to me so I don't swim in circles. I can swim a mile in open water. I swim three days a week. A mile two days and a half mile on work week days. Am I ready? I've never swam like this and am very anxious. Also what should my training be like the week before my swim? What should I eat?

    3. I'm concerned that I'll get my butt kicked by my four daughters ages 17, 15, 13 and 13. They all completed this swim last year and did very well. to. Russ, I did the swim last year and saw your girls kick a lots of people's butts! I'm sure you'll be fine given the work you've done. The race is a blast. Enjoy it. Micah p.s. I'll be there again this year
