Congrats man. Way to go. I knew you would eventually get a complete one in.
Looking back on some of my tri experiences I have felt many of the same things. Worst swim I ever had was in October in Lake Tahoe. I had that panic attack feeling and was the first time that I ever though that I could possibly die doing this. That is scary.
The first times you transition from bike to run are interesting as well. In my first tri I had cramps in my whole torsoe for the first mile after transition. It is hard to run when your stomach muscles and lower back are cramping.
Good luck at the Echo one, that was my first one and is a fast course.
