Ok folks, here's the deal. I've talked my wife into doing a indoor sprint triathlon in the next 3 weeks (500yd swim, 10 mile bike, 3 mile run). Problem is, if she does it, so do I. So we're both signed up.
So…how should I attack the 500? I swim them in practice, but I sincerely feel that I'm a sprinter and not a middle distance person. I can go between :51-53 on 100yds free, but the best I've managed for a 500 is 6:35 (please stop laughing). How do you distance folks prepare mentally for this? Any advice on training? Also, keep in mind I should be able to finish the swim and still be able to ride a bike and run afterwards. Thanks.

OK, now I am done.
Do not attack it. Go out s.l.o.w. If you can sprint a :53 then 1:08 has got to feel like you are totally loafing. Yet 1:08, 1:12, 1:12, 1:12, 1:10 puts you under 5:55, a PB by forty seconds.
