Subject: Hello all
Hey,

Been a lurker on here for a little bit now. This site is great.

I've been working most the spring and all summer so far trying to get ready for my first sprint tri. It's definitely been challenging in ways I didn't think it would be, but I'm glad I'm doing it and very scared for race day (Sept 13th) at the same time.

I got a swim coach, but I'm still not sure how I'm going to swim 725m non-stop. The Biking is going good, and the running is going okay, but this heat is making it tough!

Anyway, that's me and where I am right now, just thought I'd introduce myself!

-Jim

Welcome to the fun!  Keep on working towards race day and you'll be surprised what you can do. Getting a swim coach was a good decision and will surely help you get through the 725 in September.

Good luck!

When I started thinking about my first tri, the 800m swim was the scariest part! I got a swim coach too, and it ended up being no problem at all (though I didn't really believe that until after I was done!

Now I have thoughts of half-ironman in the back of my head, and the swim is only part of that that DOESN'T scare me! You've got time...You'll be fine.

Enjoy your training!

Thanks for the kind words you two! I'm hoping the swim is as easy as you guys say! I've gotten to where I'm swimming that far, but it's all been intervals. In the pool 3x a week though!
