I'm going to be in Greece for a month (tough life, I know) so all my training will be open water swimming in that wine-dark sea.. it's going to be a swim/run focus, not taking a bike unfortunately. There are some great mountain roads on this island (Evia/Euboia), but oh well.
Not sure how to set about structuring workouts in OW. I'm going to take paddles, and do some long swims with the paddles as a kind of strength workout. I find OW intervals tricky, because I don't have a good sense of time on the swim, and I lose count of strokes. So I'm thinking of just heading out for 45 min steady then coming back as fast as possible, on the non-paddle days.
Any other ideas/suggestions ?
