Has anyone done the Miami swim (Nike Miami)? I would like to sign up for this ast my first 10K. I called the organizing company yesterday and they were very nice, but not very knowledgeable about the race. Any insights from anyone who has done it? The woman I talked to thought it was a 5 lap course but wasn't sure. Also, this would be my first 10K. Can you eat during it? I was thinking of bringing a gel or two, but without water to wash it down that might be kinda yucky. I don't know how that works on a long swim. I have a really fast metabolism, and after a couple hours of exercise I pretty really hungry and sluggish if I don't eat something. thanks for any advice.

it really is right at that time when one is desperate to get away from the Midwest. I'm searching for stuff around that time, but there really isn't much in the way of organized swims. The Miami race was very small when I did it and i do remember having to drink lots of little paper cups full of gatorade!!! I found a great hotel on South Beach that was a lot of fun. My seahorse tattoo is also from there....
