Any triathletes out there?

My ultimate dream is to do a triathlon or duathlon (swimming/running) hopefully by next year. I'm currently overweight, but losing and learning to run quickly. Currently, I bike everywhere (I don't have my own racing bike, just a mountain bike - I have one I could borrow for race-time!). I swim on nice days (learning the front crawl now - luckily my boyfriend is a lifeguard/swim instructor). Come fall, I'll be off to university, which is fully equipped with a pool and brand new gym I can use, and free spin classes!

Any advice for training in the next year? What should I do/how often? I just want to finish and not come last!

I've googled but I couldn't find any resources of triathlon training programs suited to someone like me.

Here is what my local tri club has for FAQs and training handouts.

Check around your local area for triathlon clubs. The ones around me have training sessions, classes for newbies, etc.
