My first one, a sprint, is in September. I am less prepared than you but have come to the conclusion that I am not doing it as a race. My goal is to run without walking....but maybe I'll have to have a contingency goal so I don't beat myself up when I walk
One of my goals was no walking. Didn't happen. I'll never know "what if" I had held back on the ride but if I still needed to walk the run I would have been really upset.

The disappointment has faded and the reality of what I accomplished has started to shine.

The Iron Girl triathlon is going to be much harder. My focus with this one is just to finish.
