I think I am going to die...

Hey. I am new to triathlons. In fact, I am mostly new to everything. I am 26 and have been pretty active all my life. It's been on and off really but 5 months ago, I put down the fags and took up running.

I have always been a good swimmer, and (let's face it) we all zoomed up and down random roads and mountains on bikes when we were kids, so there should be no problems there.

I recently completely one of many 10kms in a shocking time, and a half mara on the 2nd March in preparation for the Bala Middle Distance in North Wales.

The problem is that I am now injured. Bala is 10 weeks away, I bought my bike last weekend and while swimming freestyle for 5kms is still easy as pie, I can't run or cycle for at least another week. I am worried. I am going for physio, but I guess I need someone to tell me that (a) it's going to be ok (b) I have enough time to train and (c) I am not going to die. Yet.

Thanks!
