it is not the distance. It is the nasty water. Yesterday I swam a third of that in a pool. I live next to an Olympic training pool and I use it to practice for my half tri. I try to do at least one a year and my friends are going to one in september in Philly. The swim part is just under a mile. I am in swimming shape but not biking shape. I was going to give myself another two weeks to see if I can keep up with them on the 40 mile ride before registering and updating my USAT membership.
