Thanks Lise,

Your math matches mine... I was so tired last night that I kept thinking I was missing something! It is an open water swim. I mapped out where the cove is last night so I'll definately go check it out beforehand (not to mention doing some swimming there when the wetsuit is available!). I believe it is out and back (U-shaped course) and 1/4 mile.

Again, thanks for your help! I figured I'd better start training now as I don't want to be stressed about it later - I will be happy to finish this one so I'm not feeling the need to beat myself up w/training but at the same time, I want to be thoroughly prepared.... now, if I could just talk myself into doing some jogging !!!

Have a GREAT day!!

Tracy
