Thanks ladies, what great advice. When I train for this mini-tri (it's in N.C. by the way) should I train like the tri.?(swim, bike ,run). Does it matter if I ride first to warm up and then run a while and then bike again? I can bike to the pool and swim and bike home. Should I then run? I guess what I'm asking is...for training purposes, does it matter what order I train in?
