Subject: Lets see what happens September 19th
Well I decided to give this tri thing a try.  I have been running and biking off and on since high school.  I think if I can get through the 1000m swim I will be able to finish.  Not looking for a good time just want to cross the finish line.  If I like it as much as running, then maybe next year I can make a race out of it.   Feel free to check out my training log, I love advice...

For starters, I'd find a training plan (free one here, paid ones here, a book, etc.) and start there.  It's sort of overwhelming at first when trying to figure out how to get ready for a triathlon, but a plan, or at least a guideline, will be an immense help.  No matter if you're trying to place or just finish, a plan helps.

Oh, and swim a lot more than I have the last month and a half.  That'll get you ready for that 1000m.

I agree wit Sesh. Follow a plan. They really do work. Also, if the swim is what is your weakness, then swim more. Always work on your weaknesses first. Goodluck on the 19th!

Good luck and have fun - lots of great threads here on advice for training, race day, etc. If you don't see what you're looking for, just ask. I've found everyone to be incredibly helpful.
