A tri by next July... and you have swimming down... you will be just fine!
Stick around here and you can chat with us about your training.
Also, www.beginnertriathlete.com, is a great site as well. You can join and get a free place to log all your workouts, and it's so cool to see your totals as the months go by!
Well, keep on the running, get the asthma under control and you will be good to go!
