Hey Slash, I'm doing an aquabike in a couple of weeks too. Woohoo!

You were musing about just how far a 1.2 mile swim is. I found this handy link that has conversions of pool lengths to miles, with an eye on multisport race differences:

Hey thanks Tangent Girl, that will come in handy. Good luck on your aquabike, mine is now in 12 days...

I did something yesterday that put my wondering about how far 1.2 mile swim is into better perspective... I did an open water swim race of 1 mile! It was a small event, swimming only, and only 67 swimmers at that. A nice event, in a calm and clear (for Oklahoma) lake - just what the doctor ordered. I swam it in 44:09 which I was happy with because I finished!

If you're interested I just did a blog post on it here:

Best of luck with your aquabike race and thanks for the link.
