So in 3 months I've gone from couch (36% body fat) to half marathon (20% body fat, -5 lbs), practiced swimming in a wetsuit, and learned to ride a road bike with clipless pedals. My first sprint triathlon is scheduled for April 20th. I've been a bit concerned with "I can swim, bike, and run separately, but putting them all together... eek".
So, while looking at race listings, I found something called "The shortest triathlon ever" - 100yd pool swim, 2.5 mi bike, and a 2.1 mi run. I signed up, thinking it's a good opportunity to practice transitions and get over the mental barrier.
My question to the oh-so-amazing Womens: how do I get the most out of this experience? What should I focus on that I can then take to my first sprint tri (a week later)?
Thank you!!!!!!!
