Well, the original thread was deleted for certain reasons, so I thought I would update everyone on my first tri.

As I stated before, I was very concerned with the swimming portion. The intent of my previous post was to gather some tips that would help. Some comments were helpful, but most were very disheartening, to say the least.

I thought it was ironic that I was getting bashed in a forum titled "Beinner Triathlete".

Anyway, I'm here to report that the tri went great and I had a blast!

My favorite segment? The swim!
It turned-out to be surprisingly easy (much easier than the pool), and I had energy to spare after the 600 yards.

Again, thanks for you support and encouragement.

Congrats!

Were you the one who struggled swimming 100 yards in a pool just a week or two before the triathlon?  If so, what did you do in that week or two to become so comfortable in a 600 yard OWS?
