I am in desperate need of some training/workout suggestions to prepare for my first triathlon in two months. The swim portion of this race is .4 miles.
While I am no stranger to the water, having swam competitively from age 11 through high school, I have not really been in a pool since.
Please Help! I have two days per week to train in a pool, but I don't have any idea how I should be training!!

I DID IT!!!!
And it was great! As everyone warned, I am now "hooked" and starting to think of when I can do another triathlon.
All went extremely well for me. I did remain in a clump of swimmers in the middle of the course and had to tread water a couple of times just to get free of them, but still was enjoying myself and the fact that I was actually doing this!
Matt, i followed your "rules" for enjoying the experience and they helped more than you know!
The bike leg was my strength, and the run my weakest link. Now I will take my time to "practice" all three of the sports to pre-prepare fo a future event.
I am pleased (tickled actually) with myself, and again thank you Kim, and Matt, and several other individuals for your help, and this entire list for posting all the great information here.
