       Key training tips

       Never go up in minutes/miles by more than 10% per week.  This
       decreases your chance  for injuries.
       When training for your swim, make sure you go a little farther
       then your needed distance.  You will definitely have confidence
       then.  Swimming can be scary - especially if one can't touch or
       see the ground.
       Make sure to do a few 'brick' workouts several weeks before your
       first tri.  These will help you immensely for the bike to run
       (T2) transition
       Do some open-water training if possible.  At least 1-2 times
       prior to racing.  Open water swimming will be more challenging.
       Just make sure you have somebody looking out for you if you get
       into trouble.
       Don't train hard the last two weeks before the race.  It's too
       late for improvement.
