Congratulations.  That is really impressive to improve so much from each race before!
Your swim and run times show amazing improvement.  Keep up the training and brick workouts!

I understand what you mean about the first mile of running.  I don't enjoy running either (especially right after biking).  But I did quite a few brick workouts in training and that seemed to help some.  Even if I went for a 30-45 min bike ride and then went for an immediate 10 min jog it really helped.  Good luck in your training and in your next race.
