How I did it: I found a basic plan online and stuck too it.  I also had a training partner that helped keep me committed. I foudn a local club in my area to learn what the first step was.  A year out I started going to swim clinic's because that is my weakest.  I also went biking with friends on weekly rides.  I live near many trails which helped keep my mind off the clock and more about my footing.  I love running on the trails because it keeps your mind active.

Lessons & tips: Get a good pair of shoes that fit right.  My shoes were a too small for trail running.
