I've researched different training plans, and I'm going with the 11 week beginner sprint plan on tri-newbies.

My question is, I am signing up for a tri thats 21 weeks out...is there anyone who can give me advice on how to modify the plan? I don't want to train for a longer distance because this is my first tri, and I've never been a good swimmer (and runner for that matter) and this is going to serve as a test tri to see if I like the sport.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Oh...and I've been looking at the wetsuit threads as well, but will be competing in FL in September. It will either be a lake or the gulf (I haven't nailed down the specific race yet) and I'm assuming a tri suit will be just fine?? Yes no??
