How many of you could do a triathlon tomorrow?

A sprint tri. Just wondering how many could do one say tomorrow, just trying to gauge how difficult they are to the average person.

I've starting swimming training and loving the swimming again, such a fun sport.

Hoping to eventually get up to 60 lengths per session.

Yep. 5k is actually pretty tough, no idea how people run marathons.

Swimming and Bike I could struggle through, I've never been a runner though, think thats where I'd fall down.

Try a mile a day, what I am doing.

Yeh no problem for me. I cycle once a week, although I'm not that strong on the bike. Running no problem. I can swim but don't practice. I recon I could do an Olympic distance. A 70.3 I think I could do, but would have to train to get faster on the bike and probably improve my swimming efficiency.

Try swimming 100m free and see how far you get never mind 1.2 miles in cold open water with no steps to get out. Lot tougher than you think.
