I'm no triathlete (obviously) but am wondering just from a training perspective - have people who do IMs usually done marathons before? I would think that would be a VERY good idea and if you (and the people who've actually done IMs) agree, then I'd suggest training for the Cal International Marathon in Sac in December. http://www.runcim.org/ That gives you plenty of time to train for it and it is a pretty flat easy first marathon. Generally nice and cool as well, which is good. And it is a fun marathon - has a very hometown feel as you run through nice residential areas with families out on their lawns watching you and kids giving you orange slices.
Just a thought ...
