Anyone done a Super Sprint?

I did one with that kind of distance but a longer bike leg. Was fine. You have some more time to fuel so that's good. I was rather a bit more tired at the end but that was because it was a hilly course. And I nearly drowned in the cold river.

You'll do fine.

My first was a 750m swim, 26k bike, 6k run. It was fine, although maybe I should have paced myself a bit better on the run and not started quite as fast.
Biggest worry was monsters coming from the depths of the lake and nibbling my toes during the swim (that was what I spent the whole night dreaming of before the tri).

Oh no! My dreams always have to do with not being able to see where I'm going for some reason. Sand, water, stuff in my eyes.

If your races venues are like mine the water will be so murky that you won't be able to see where you are going, or who you are swimming into, until you run them over.

My first was pretty much like that, except for a 2300m swim - we swam from an old prison island and to the mainland, so we crossed the fjord, and so it wasn't really possible to shorten it... The bike leg was 18k and the run 10k. Later I've done normal sprints, and varieties around the theme, but I think the step up to Olympic was quite noticable. For me it's the longer bike leg that kills me, I'm ok with longer swimming and runs.

I am doing one this weekend ......and its an open water swim. I am using it to prepare myself for a sprint in 3 weeks.
