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.

PACE !! Do you remember the srory of the turttle & the hare?
If you swim that fast, then try a pace of 1:00 to 1:05 to have a good overall swim. Good luck:groovy:
