Hey Teigyr, congrats on signin' up for your first triathlon!

I'm with KSH on the bricks. It's important to do it at least a few times before the race so you KNOW that your legs feel funny (read: quite bad) when you start running after the bike, but you also KNOW that it will go away in 5 minutes.

However swim-bike bricks seem pretty useless to me. Maybe because the two sports use very different muscle groups (I almost don't use my legs for swim so YMMV). They might be useful for practicing transitions though. But if your goal right now is to finish, not to improve on your personal best, it's probably not the most important area for you to work on. Save your efforts for the bike-run bricks.

Enjoy!
