They don't call it a brick for nothin! (Oh wait, Tri Girl already said that)

You'll get used to the feeling, it goes away after about 10 minutes. I do a brick every week, and longer ones on some weekends, and now it doesn't really mess with me mentally as much. I am able to tell myself it WILL go away. If you have to do a run/walk combo, it's not the end of the world - the point is to have fun!

Bike to swim is a little weird, but when you get stronger at swimming, you will be able to practice using your upper body more and your lower body less. This is a hard lesson for anyone who comes from a swimming background, but it pays to save the legs for the bike and run, when you need them most!

Don't worry, you'll be hooked in no time.
