I have a half-IM coming up in a few weeks, my first tri. My bike and run aren't a worry at all... it's the swim that I'm concerned about. I won't have an opportunity to test out open water until 2 days before the event (just to make it more exciting).
With my weak swimming, I wonder whether I can even complete the swim (BTW, no wetsuits). So here's the Q. What must I be able to do in the pool to be reasonably sure I can make it through that 1.2 miles? Now, if, for example, you tell me I need to do 2000scy non-stop, then, well, it ain't happenin' for me this year and the event just became a vacation. If you say it's 20x100 with 5 secs rest, then *maybe* that's a different story, etc.

Too f@ckin depressed from various injuries to care about having a signature line.
