Kelly - Good luck with your races this month! I am working toward making the transition to tri's, but won't start the swimming portion until this winter. I've got enough on my plate right now.

My husband is a swimmer so he's been helping me with strokes, breathing and all that, but we have so many other things going on that swimming has taken a back seat. I'll focus on that over the winter and by the time this summer is over with the running/biking that I'm doing, by adding the swim I'll be ready for some tri's next year!

That's the goal! Have you checked out the www.beginnertriathelete.com website? Their forum is a great resource!

Good luck this summer!
