Subject: RE: First TriAgree with what was said above. If it's not a huge race and they have wave starts it really isn't that bad as you hear (at least my race wasn't) Also, I know that anyone that ran into me in the water (after the initial dash and splash which I avoided) was just as startled as I was and pretty much changed direction vs. swimming 'over' me. If you do any OWS with other people practice swimming together so it's not as startling if someone touches you in the water. That's what my tri group did (about 10 of us all enter the water and swim to a set point as a pack) and it really seemed to help. I guess you could even do that in a pool with a few people. Just have as much fun as possible at your race. It's a lot easier to stay relaxed if you are having fun  Edited by Chatagirl 2011-07-07 3:05 PM
