There are a few standard tri distances--Olympic, 70.3, and full Ironman--but anything involving a swim, a bike, and a run is a triathlon. You, <i>mon amie</i>, are going to be a triathlete.<br /><br />(2) Good thinking getting a couple practice swims in. I didn't do that, and my first tri swim was not the best experience I've ever had. When you're swimming in the canal, practice sighting; every 10 seconds or so, instead of simply breathing to one side, lift your head up with your eyes forward and look at where you're going. I tend to do this during the glide part of my swim stroke, with one arm extended in front of me to keep my legs from dropping. You don't have to sight perfectly each time, just enough to get an idea of where you are and where you're going. You can practice this at the pool, too. :^)<br /><br />(3) Be careful doing exactly what I've been doing pre-race. It all seems to have gone to hell recently.<br /><br />Oh, and have lots of fun!!Jeffhttp://www.jeffmatherphotography.com/dispatches/noreply@blogger.com
