Swim

Swam 1/2 mile in 18 minutes. From reading my brother's blog I see I have almost seven minutes on him in a half mile swim, but reading his running times, he has at least that much on me in the 5K. I think he will dust me in the bike as well. I'm hoping to buy a bike on Wednesday, and I will need to start doing some serious riding.

As well as I do swim comparatively, I do worry about the swim leg. I don't think swimming in the pool compares to an open water swim with choppy water, other competitors and no turn and push off and glide every twenty-five yards. I'm guessing the first triathlon I do will only have a 1/4 mile swim, so it will probably be all right. I'd like to find a way to practice open water swimming before hand.
