I know the running aspect of the triathlon obviously, and in this coming july is the new jersey state triathlon, where do i start with the swimming and where do i start with the biking/swimming? Where can i find the gear for this? What do i need? How do i create a plan for the swimming and the biking? Can someone help me?
Also, would i be swimming everyday and biking everyday as well as running?
Aren't you the one asking about running more than 11 miles a week? Come on, let's see you get in actual running shape first
But anyways no, you don't do them every day. Do 1 or 2 of each every day
They normally start with a swimming leg, so you'll want to be near the water.
First thing I would do is get off Letsrun and find a tri site to post your question on.
Best bet would be beginnertriathlete.com
I'd start by taking swimming lessons at the YMCA, then, ask your dad to teach you how to ride your bike without the training wheels. Then you can start trying to run some as well, unless your form is awful, then you should just stick to summer league swim until highschool and quit sports because you've outgrown them and don't believe in competitiveness because it is primitive and beneath you.
Join a Masters Swimming program and swim with them 3 times a week.
Add some biking to your current run program (if you currently run every day, sub out a 1 run per week for a bike, 1 run per week for a swim). 3 times a week - 1 easy one of about an hour. Another hour long bike with some intervals thrown into it and a longer ride of about 2 hours.
1. Brag to everyone that you're a triathlete.
2. Spend lots of money on gear.
3. Become mediocre at three athletic disciplines.
4. Start a training blog so the cyber-world can keep up to date on your hours of training.
5. Post pics of your meals to your training blog.
That's a start.

I wouldn't have thought that people would fall for yet another triathlon post, but they did. Well done.

Really, the hardest part about starting to do triathlons is telling your parents that you're gay.
Carry on.
