Thinking about trying to do a triathlon next year (July 2010) and was just wondering if anyone has any experience with them. It's a .5 mile swim, 15.3 mile bike ride, and 3.1 mile run.

I'm not doing it for the competition - I've just always thought about it and think now would be a good time - I'm 40 and just really want to take charge of my health (my parents are both dealing with health problems).

I think I could do the swim and run - with training - but I've never been a good runner and kinda worry about that part.

So - if anyone has ever done one.....how long did you train for it? Any suggestions?

Thanks
