I finished my first spring triathlon of the season past this weekend (this is my second season competing). I was fairly happy with my time. 1:33:00 for a 500 yard swim, 30K bike, and 3K run. Sixth out of 15. The next local tri is May 17. There is a sprint and an Olympic the same day. I have the registration open for the Olympic on another page, but I'm being a sissy and won't press the button. I was looking for some encouragement. I'm scared to death of a 1500m swim. I can do it in a pool, but the 500 yard swim is still my longest open water swim.
