Several years ago I competed participated in my first triathlon. It was a GREAT experience, one that's often difficult to describe to someone who's never participated. I came across the below video on Youtube that actually does a great job of illustrating what the first 60 seconds of a triathlon actually feel like. As an introduction, during this first 60 seconds of any triathlon you and hundreds (or thousands) of other participants dash from the beach to the water and begin swimming in what has often been described as a human washing machine. During my first triathlon, I distinctly remember at least one person swimming right over the top of me. Good times.
