simplyputsi 0 #26 August 8, 2006 Dude, congrats on at least getting out there and trying. Who cares what place you came in on. I saw this late or i would have told you how bad the swim can be, even if you are a fish. My first sprint tri I spent myself way to soon on the swim, took forever to control my breathing, but ultimately made it out alive. I am still having problems with my swim but I've learned that is just how it's gonna be for awhile. A few musts for any tri, speed laces and tri shorts. There is no tying in triathlons. You hit the nail right on the head with the description of running after you bike, it gets easier with practice, but holy crap!! I have my 4th and final for this season sprint triathlon next weekend. I was gunning to place, but with my vacation and stuff I lagged on my training. It takes an amazing amount of training just to do a 600m swim, 13 mile bike, 3.1 mile run. Congrats again!!Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To just do it to have fun, takes very little training. Just the right spirit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
