When you think of your training always try to keep in mind the metaphor of cooking a soup. While there (hopefully) is some spice inside of your soup and maybe some vegetable or meat still most of the volume consists of water, right? Try to keep it like this with your training. Like with your soup you want to start gathering some water and boil it before you insert the other ingredients. Work on your basic endurance by doing slow units of cycling, swimming or running. Most triathletes miss the boat here. They immediately want to start with the "good stuff" - becoming fast, becoming a triathlon champ overnight, a celebrity. If you want to learn the piano, do you invite guests for your first concert next week?
