good Tri leg 3: shadow creek park 3 mi
Fatigued by this point and what was there to greet me the minute I start the run? A hill...and another...and another. Granted, they were small but after swimming and biking, I just couldn't ... read more

good Tri leg 2: Pleasanton 10 mi

good Tri leg 1: Shadow creek lake 400 yd
The good- I finished. The bad- I freaked out. The ugly- worse cramp on my calf muscle, ended up backstroking with one functioning leg for most of the way. Not bad considering I just learned to s... read more

Great report and congrats on completing the first Tri. I have yet to attempt one and swimming is the main reason why. I have heard about the churn, the splashing and pushing at the start of Tri's which make it really tough. You made it and have learned a lot, keep up the great work.

Kudos for your first tri! Regarding the swimming leg, a friend who does tris told me that there was a group who practiced open water swimming in the bay. Also, Total Immersion may also be what you are looking for. They have regular weekend seminars in the Bay Area. I took one about 5 years back, and most of the participants were triathletes looking to improve (e.g. gain efficiency/save energy) their swimming leg.

@Kristen R. Thanks! I've done a Mermaid Duathlon before. Will definitely look into the tri. @Brian G. Yes, the swim is daunting. I recommend practicing in open water. @Cyclist2runner I've read the TI books and have the video. I guess putting it into practice is important. I want to take a TI class! Thank you everyone!
