I'm a virgin at this Triathlon thing...

Go Girl!! Running is not to hard just take a break every however long and start again.

Your realy going to like this site.

If you pick up the one of the training plans here, say maybe the 12-16 week sprint plan, you will have plenty of help.  Follow that and you will see that it is pretty easy.

That was where I started in Feb or March, I finished my first tri on May 21.  I did 5 more over the summer, and a half marathon as well.  So you can do it, just put it down on your priority list.

Welcome, welcome.

62 miles in 20 hours!?  That reminds me of the Stephen King story "The Long Walk".

Six months should be plenty of time to get yourself ready for your first tri.  There are a number of great workout programs here on the BT site.  Check out the one that is most comfortable for you and follow it closely.  Having your workouts written out will certainly help to keep you on track.

Good luck in your training, and don't forget to log your workouts so we can all keep an eye on you. 

Sounds like you live in a great location.  Re getting into running - # 1 make sure you have a good pair of running shoes and moisture wicking socks.  Other running apparel as you can.  Get out there and start with a light jog.  If you tire quickly do not despair - many runners start by doing 1 minute of running/jogging, followed by 1 minute of a brisk walk.  Repeat for 10 sets.

Do this a few times a week and then a couple of weeks later push it to 2 minutes of running followed by 1 minute of brisk walking.  Keep doing this adding 1 minute to your run every couple of weeks.   Do this up to 10 and 1's. 

 Welcome to BT.  Check out the log feature and keep track of your workouts in there.  It's a great tool.

Welcome aboard!!!  Sounds like you already have a good endurance base.

My wife and I just started the couch to 5k program 2 months ago and can't believe how far we've come.  We just got new bikes and found a swim coach to help us out for a few lessons.  Totally exciting stuff!  Our first tri should be next March here in NC.  Based on our progress in the first 2 months of our training, you'll be fine in 6 months. 

Post your logs, chat, ask for help, etc.  This site is great and I've already found lots of people to help us out.

Awesome, we like virgins!

Kidding. Sort of. If you are used to being on your feet for 20 hours, you will ease right into this, but just take it slow to avoid injuries.  Go for a 45 minute walk. When you feel like it, 5 times or so during that time, just jog for a minute.   Do that a bunch of times, then slowly start to increase the run chunks, and before you know it, you'll be running. Also, MANY people walk the whole leg of the Danskins. I have done 3 Danskins, and the atosphere is way mellow.
