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!
Hey guys thanks for the advice. I believe you are allowed to have a kayak escort with you, but I think there are multiple kayakers throughout the tributary that have food and water from what I understand. And as for water training I have been toning it down to try and lose weight running, but I generally do a quick 200 free warmup, and then go 70 laps in the pool, take a 5 minute break, then do 70 more if I have time in between jobs. I rarely have time to do more than 2 sets of 70, but I always end with another 200 free.
