Me and a group are doing the swim, mtb, trail run sprint tri at Papago on October 11th. Anybody else on here going?

I am not a tri person at all and should finish about mid pack overall, but I did go top 3 or 5 in the mtb leg. It is kind of interesting because the fast swimmers (not me), are often slow on mtb, so you are passing a huge amount of people. Then the run starts and it flops again and you become a speed bump.
I do like training for this race though because it gets me to break up my mtb only routine. I do hate the open water swim with a couple hundred people though. It freaks me out like a phobia.
