My first tri...only 8 weeks to train

Don't hold off Amy...jump right in there and do it. Your running ability is fine, there's 1/3 of the event already covered. And since you can complete a 10K, your fitness level will help tremendously in the other events. Spend the time getting used to riding the bike, do some swimming, and try to eventually cover the distances required by the time the race is a week or two away. That way you won't be surprised. Then just pace yourself. Try and save something during the first 2 sections so that when you get to the run (your strong point) you have gas left in the tank. Think positive, and let us know how the training is going, and then tell us all about the race. We are here for motivation and support!

yeah, u can do it especially with the great running base....u can certainly make dramatic improvements in swimming in two months and biking is relatviely easy to build at the sprint stage.  BUT take some rest when your body is tired...dont feel like u have to train like a berzerker for 8 weeks - enjoy the first tri experience. u will finish.

I agree with Sharon, keep it fun and enjoy the experience!

You can very well do it - with Ron - make sure you take the rest you need. Build up the swim and bike endurance week by week - patiently and slowly. Go for it!!
