Congratulations! You did great! I did two tri's myself last year, just starting out, and am not much of a fast swimmer- so I know how hard it can be.

Do you ever do a "brick" workout, where you ride your bike then run immediately afterwards? This helps train your legs to run when they are tired, and would make the first few minutes of your run easier when you are racing.

Can't wait to hear about the next one!
