POC isn't being flipant. He's just calling it.
The truth is, about tri's, they aren't as hard as everyone makes them out to be, unless you're a pro,or a top 3 age grouper...It's the training that is hard and since you say you have the time and the will...Just do it!
Get a good program,stick to it and it will happen.
I met two folks at IMLP this year where it was their first tri...ever, so having a few races under your belt will help but isn't a necessity.

Hi there I'm quite new to tri and have not completed my first yet but I have always run and swam. I'm 19 and male. Currently I train about 7-10 hours a week. I was wondering if anyone thinks that the newfoundland HIM on July 27 08 is out of reach considering my inexperiance, but I have no problem with putting in the hours to train for it. Currently I have my eye on an olympic and half marathon in the spring. Opinions would be appreciated good or bad.
