I want to go from sucking at running to sucking at 3 sports in the same day. Pick a destination for me to do it at, please.

Pick a course that tailors to your strengths. If you are a slow biker, Miami has a fast/easy bike course for you. If you're a bad swimmer, look at Augusta which has a fast swim with the current. If you're a slow runner.....Well that's a tough one b/c running a half marathon after everything else is hard no matter how you slice it.
Orlando Half Marathon, early December. You will usually get great weather (although it can sometimes be warm), you get a decent sized field (2700-2800 finishers), there are things to do beyond the race because of the attractions, there is a growing local food and beer scene, and not to define you through one characteristic, but it is a very bear friendly place.
Yeah, I totally misread your post. Oops.

Unlike most marathons, which is a twink friendly place?
You must be talking about the OUC half marathon. Done that one. It's usually nice and cold.
Well, the marathons themselves do seem to favor the twinks, yes.
i suggest the cheaper
I guess what constitutes nice and cold depends on your perspective.
Temp and dew point at 8:00 am on race day (start time is 7:30):
2012 - 62/55
2013 - 67/65
2014 - 67/67
2015 - 68/65
2016 - 60/51
Average temp/dew point 30 minutes into the race the last 5 years: 64.8/60.8.
A nice respite from colder climes, at a minimum.
I did Galveston this year. Loved the course. We rented a beach house on Galveston and had a great time. Highly recommend.
I'll be at probably both Santa Rosa 70.3 [July] and Wildflower 70.3 [May, near San Luis Obispo]
Have heard good things about Coeur d'Alene [Idaho] also
Welcome. In addition to sucking at three sports, don't forget you get graded on how fast you can change clothes (T1 and T2).
Have done HIM distance in Anderson SC, Williamsburg VA, Augusta, Chattanooga, and Nashville. Of all those, Chattanooga is my favorite because of the venue. Very scenic and lots to do around town. If you want a PR time, though, Augusta has a rep as one of the fastest HIM's around. Downstream swim in a wetsuit = lightning fast swim. Not much elevation gain on the bike, and the run is a tabletop. Only downside is often hot. And it's in Augusta, which isn't the greatest city. Although the people at the race are awesome and the spectators are good.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
