<p>Actually, isn't IMKY a time trial swim? Pretty sure it is. So no mosh pit.</p>

It is not like I have water around here to swim and the 2.4 miles scares me! I have never been in the water for that long.<br><br>

It's TT and you'll do fine just keep away from all of the fallen trees around the island and stick close to the sand bar at the turn around and you won't get sucked out into the main channel like I did. </p>

<p>You can probably prepare for the water by getting in dirty washing machine water, smells about the same. <span><img alt="icon_puke_r.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif"> </span> <span><img alt="laughing7.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/laughing7.gif"></span></p>

<p>Heck and you'll already be heat trained too!</p>

<p>It is a combination of the swim and the water. I would rather have a mass start. This way I can get behind someone and draft. This will also be my first tri over 500 meters that I will not be wearing a wet suit, both HIM I had one. So I guess it really is the fear of the unknown.<br><br>
