Hey, if you just want to go out there and do it... then do it.

I know with duathlons... really good runners and cyclists tend to be drawn the to the events. Whereas at tri's, you see more a large range of fitness levels.

But if you just care about enjoying the experience... and being there... and having fun... then go for it.

I also encourage you to start going BRICK workouts right now. Do bike/run/bike/run workouts. It can be short distances, but you need to get use to the jello legs when you go from bike to run.

GOOD LUCK!
