You're suppose to write them together, at the same time. What's slower is spending all of your time mousing around the GUI like a caveman and then having missing tests and then trying to debug every future recurring regression forever the rest of the project's lifespan.
The only thing that's slower is perhaps trying to do TDD for the first time. After that, you're embarrassed at how much time you wasted wandering in a browser before your API tests were finished.
