Training for First Olympic

Greetings! Two year Triathlete with seven sprints and a Du completed. Looking to increase the distance from sprint to Olympic

Started off five years ago running to lose a little weight. A little running became a 5K became a 10K became a 10M...I think you get the picture. Had a bought of tendonitis in 2012 and had to cut back on the running when I remembered that a kid I could swim and bike. Not a fast swimmer by any means but was able to train for and compete in my first Tri in September of 2012. I came in second in my age group - because there were only two of us!! I will never podium but I love the sport. Looking forward to my first Oly this fall. I can already do all the distances but just have to put it together. The goal is an Half Iron next summer. Just set a PR for half marathon last week at the Pro Football Hall of Fame HM. Don't know if I will ever be able to do a marathon - trained for one last year but after two 20 mile training runs my back gave out. I have suffered from an extruded disc for 10 years. Just excited to participate regardless if it is training or an actual race.
