Triathlon Prep Stage 1: SWIM

So I'm getting set for the swim portion. I found a coach (Doc), have an immediate short term training goal (swim 5x200 yards in 3 min intervals). However, I also found out that 200 yards is like, 3 laps in a huge pool, so I'm thinking five minute intervals are in order. Plus I have to kick the mentality that swimming is for fun and you should have a cocktail in your hand while doing it. So, a trip to the swimsuit store is in order, which should be entertaining since my sailing tan has left me looking similar to a panda bear. I get the feeling the YMCA is going to regret this.
Tomorrow is that stuff and a rest. Friday is my first attempt at a swim training, plus a second session with Gail after work. Hmm... where'd that RedLine go??
