Not Considered a Triathlete...just yet

I just signed up for the One World Tri in Cincinnati! This will be my "First" tri with swimming. I did a couple Tri's last year which included paddleing not swimming. I have not heard much talk about paddle-run-bikes in these forums. With my weakest event being the swim-which seems to be pretty common in these threads- I feel that once I have an OWS under my belt I will consider myself a Triathlete. (I found myself getting nervous just pressing the "submit" button on Active.com!) I wanted to tell everyone out there that I am learning so much from all of the questions and answers in these forums and wanted to say thanks for everything so far. I will eventually figure out how to use this site to its fullest potential, still have many things to learn.
Thanks again to everyone!!
