    2 months will be tough but if you work really hard you can

    maybe not, i’ve had friends who trained for the marathons and though in good shape they still tended to up the training and endurace for 6 months leadin up to it.
    but its hard to tell without knowin ur current fitness level, your best bet is to join a gym (if you’re not already part of one) where they will do a tests to give you an idea of how fit you already are. then ask whats the best way to train for a triathlon and which of their equiptment you should be using.

    if you work really hard yeah
    It would have been better if you had a year or at least 6 months or so.
    But if you try really hard, I bet you can do it! ; )

    good luckā™„
