Thanks for the swimming tips, will have a look on YouTube. Certainly wouldn't mind looking at the others so I'll PM you.
Definitely won't be using pro training plans! Really looking at 10-15h a week max.
I'm 6"4, 78kg, current FTP is ~285W (likely higher but I stopped twice during the test due to traffic for ~1min), run pace is 4:20/km at threshold and swimming 19.5/1km. Never trained with a structure before, just pushed harder/faster.
By good time I'm realistically looking at <12-13h and the course is quite flat. Is this completely unrealistic given that it's still 8 months away?
