Hello,
I am a new USMS member. I joined because I signed up for an upcoming 5 mile race in the open water in Maryland. Does anyone have tips for a newbie to open water races? My endurance is pretty good, but I hired a personal trainer to try and lose some pounds doing dryland workouts, as well as running, even though I hate running with a passion.
Thanks for any help/advice!
I'm a newbie as well and just did my first ow in MD end of May-Ft Ritchie Swimfest Relax in the water. Race your own pace. Breathe-Exhale. Swim straight. Sight till you develop a smooth rhythm and Tarzan drills. Get some shaded goggles, I like amber. Cut back on the training the week before.
