Started out good. I was actually swimming, then I turned at the first buoy and saw how far I had to go and panicked. I thought no way am I going to be able to do this! I flipped to my back and provided encouragement to the 4 ladies behind me as we were the last ones. I kept saying we can do it and we'll do it together. one gal said she might cry, but I kept saying we were going to make it together....and WE DID!
What would you do differently?:

Swim the distance in a lake at least 2 times.

I liked T1 after swimming. I wasn't too bummed to see all the bikes GONE! It was just nice to sit calmly on my bucket and put on my shoes. I also talked to my hubby as I changed saying...boy swimming sucks! :)

Well done !

The open water swim with 60+ swimmers in a wave is definitevely the most frightening part. But it helps a lot after a first triathlon to see what to work on before the next one.
