Awesome job on the swim!

I signed up for my first Triathlon last year without knowing how to swim. Well, I mean that I could stay afloat, but I had NO front crawl skills what-so-ever. I started teaching myself how to swim 1 month before the triathlon. I came in 3rd last place in the swim ..... and had a TERRIFIC time!
Triathlons are extremely friendly events. You will see people of every shape, size and skill level. They are simply fun events and you should not feel intimidated at all. I was nervous too last year and I just finished my 6th race this past weekend.
