I wish that I could attend some type of advanced clinic, I seem to get stuck at 27:30 for a 1750 "mile swim". I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, and everyone tells me that my stroke looks good.<br><br>
Going to the pool tonight and planning on 20X100 on 1:45.... sigh.... not looking forward to it<br><br>

It's more about how fast I am in comparison to other AG swimmers in open water swims. All I know is that I have plateaued at this pace for the past 2 years, and I'm barely above the 50th percentile.<br><br>
So I set my mark at the 1750 a couple years ago, and measure my current ability against that.<br><br>
This was my one open water race that I did in the ocean last year, Time 32:31 UGH! Conditions were pretty tough but everyone had the same conditions to swim in.<br><br>
ACK!!! I had to remove the table because it did not display correctly<br><br><br>
Compared to triathletes I'm faster than being compared to swimmers, I finished 21 out of 133 in my AG at the only tri that I did last year. That was a 26:44 1500M down the Schuylkill wich did not have much of a current the day of the race. Tne fastest guy in my AG still beat me by 6 mins.

Thanks for the input. I do not think that I will doing any tri's this season. Still issues with my calf. So I'm going to concentrate on open water swims on the Southern Jersey shore this season. Most of those races are 1 mile, but there is a 2.6 mile in Great Egg harbor that I have been wanting to do.<br><br>
