Greetings. I'm on furlough for a month and, luckily, am able to spend it in northern Vermont where my wife's family has a small cabin on a beautiful lake.
I swam exactly once from March 13 until Saturday when we arrived. Did about 1000m on Saturday, 2000 m on Sunday. I'd like to be able to swim almost daily for the month to be strong enough for a half or full Ironman swim. (Not that I'm competing in one, just as a goal.)
Any thoughts on an open water training plan?
I don't really have a swimming background and only swim once a week even in full-on training. I still manage to be middle of the pack and have done full Ironman six times and about 12 half IMs in a decade of triathlons. (Just for some background.) I'm 59 and did 1:08-1:10 at the full Ironman swim a few years ago. Last year I did a 34:28 for the half.
Any advise appreciated. Thanks
