I think that the most challenging piece of triathlon training will be the swim. Although I was on the swim team for a year in high school, it has been years since I have done more than just splash around in the water. This past weekend I did 200 yards in the pool at the gym and was so winded that I had to rest after every other lap! I'll approach this the way I came at the 3-Day training - one step (or stroke) at a time. First goal, to swim 200 yards without taking a break. Ultimate goal, to swim 1000 yards at a decent pace. First step, get back in the pool this weekend and swim some laps!!!
To help motivate me to train, I ordered a fun swim cap:

Wow, Jill , you're really going for the triathlon, huh? Good for you! I'm getting my butt back to the gym tomorrow, so let me know if there's any work out support I can give you! Well, except for swimming - I just don't think that's for me!
Yup - I'm gonna do my best to make it happen - maybe we can do some early morning spin classes together at the FW LA Fitness...
