Just a thought/request:
At some point in the future, it would be nice to have workouts posted by someone who specializes in LONG distance coaching with an eye on open water distances (1 mile "death sprints" to ??? miles). The workouts provided are generally excellent, but since open water distances basically start where pool distances leave off, it would be great to have something a bit more specific. This is especially true since there is a relatively small body of printed work on longer distance/open water training and coaches for LONG distances seem few and far between.
Would anyone else be interested and would this be possible?

I am jealous as your lake swimming sounds great.
I like to zone and I will start many workouts with an hour swim maybe stopping to refuel once or twice. But I check the pace clock every 500 yds so I know what I am doing if you know your pace you don't even need to count laps.
Different strokes for different folks, to me a set with over 20 of anything is torture. From my reading and studying it seems continuous swimming is the most efficient way to build that aerobic base if it is done right.
