There is no point in going out and making making yourself unhappy with the sport if you know you might not be able to complete a portion of it. HOWEVER, there is also something to be said for challenging yourself.Rainmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371545851492880386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-79571560473558108902008-05-02T14:57:00.000-04:002008-05-02T14:57:00.000-04:001500 meters is just under a mile.

You probably could do it, but if you can get it refunded and enter in the clinic, you'll be better off and 35.00 richer.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659061902462311046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-3507837276783741712008-05-02T12:48:00.000-04:002008-05-02T12:48:00.000-04:00I hope for your sake--and future swim confidence--...I hope for your sake--and future swim confidence--that you can get out of this. Not that you might necessarily not be able to do this. I mean after all, usually you will know to swim or sink, so I'm guessing you will swim. And it doesn't sound like it is competitive, so maybe it will go better than you thought. The thing that worries me is it will be a first open water swim, and you have no idea the difference between the two. The difference being that you will likely panic in dark, murky, water you can't see your hand in front of your face in. And it might be cold. And do you have a wetsuit for that kind of distance? And need I go on??Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302710072433158197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-53820967342001784302008-05-02T11:04:00.000-04:002008-05-02T11:04:00.000-04:00Uh oh!

If it was an ocean swim I'd suggest a bit more preparation.
