Is this reasonable?

I am registered to run the Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon (half marathon) on Oct. 21. They are offering a discount of $20 on the International distance triathlon the weekend before. I would really like to do it, but I am not sure if it is reasonable to think I could be ready for an international by Oct. I am scheduled to do my first sprint next weekend.. Is 3 months a sufficient amount of time to train for an international from a sprint?

    There is a website that has a 10 week training program for an international distance

    If you are in reasonable good shape, and have the time to train, I would think you can do it

    Well, I might just have to come cheer you on while your here in Myrtle Beach! I'm doing a sprint here in September. Actually it's at Huntington Beach in Murrell's Inlet. Don't think I want to add a half marathon a month later though....You go girl!

    I read about the one at Huntington beach and I may do it as well. I LOVE that beach. I live in Columbia, so I am fairly close. I am doing my first next weekend at Tybee Island, GA.

    Reasonable? Maybe, but no one has ever accused triathletes of being reasonable so go for it.
