Good luck in the tryathlon!
Hey, I have to disagree with you on wheel size. There's nothing that says you need that size wheel to go the fastest.
I know some darn fast women bikers on road bikes with 650's.
(they're height challenged, okay? )

and you can find a road bike for UNDER 1000 dollars, I am certain.
good luck
