Thanks girls, I am happy with how it went. The next tri is this Sunday, the one with the big open water river swim. And of course I'm working in a town with people who are always on the river and talking about it, both with how deep it is, the current, what's in it (ie creatures that I HATE), and weird skin reactions after swimming in it. Not exactly helping me not freak out! It does help that the bike is twice the length, so if I can just get through the swim I get to have some fun!
