Today - First post & First TRI

Been lurking for a while getting reviews & advice...thank you to all for both.  I figured I'd wait to have actually survived an event before posting (

Completed my first event this morning (sprint in Clermont FL) and am registered for 2 olympic events in the next 60 days. 

I have a road cycling background, no racing but plenty of endurance events.  I started training for TRI on the urging of some friends.

The swim (62 degrees) nearly killed me even though I had a wetsuit.  I had plenty of time/distance in a heated pool which as you know (and now I do too) is no prep for group swim in open water. 

The bike was strong, definitely my best event.  Run was solid, a better time that I usually run 5K.

I guess now I know what to focus on in training. 

Looking forward to the benefit of more collective wisdom in the future, thanks again.
