Hi, I've been doing tris for a couple of years now. Couple of general advice: 1) if you swim with in the pack you'll save yourself energy (about 30% of energy) 2) Practice 'bricking' going from bike to run - your legs feel alien to your body. 3) Practice your transition, where you place your running shoes v your cycle…
