And hey, if you buy enough time on the swim and bike, who cares if you're a couple minutes slower on the run, right?
Thanks! I was a competitive swimmer for over 12 years, so that's pretty much my idea - gain as much time as I can in the swim. I'm still very new to the bike (just started in April), but I LOVE it and I'm already a better cyclist than a runner, lol. I am just not a natural runner - to me, it seems incredibly UNnatural (unless being chased by a pack of dogs or something!)

Thanks for the words of wisdom
