2.5KM run .... its like 6 laps in highschool
The part I'm really worried about is the swim. 375 m is 15 lengths of a pool. That's not totally crazy, but I haven't swum (swimmed? swam?) laps since elementary school either haha.

Also at a triathlon, you're swimming in open water with rolling waves, water currents, and people swimming all around you kicking and jabbing. I heard that makes it way harder.

This is probably the stroke I should learn to master: flip onto my back and just flounder slowly to the finish .

Lol that's what my wife said too. It's not even about the effort of training for this, it's the "$83.94 waste of money" hahaha
