Sprints and olys for 3 years? You're ready.

Do it. I wish I had been into tri at your age!

Heck yeah you are! Go for it!

(I did my first at age 20, coming from a swimming background too. enjoy it!)

The only bummer is if you place in your AG they give you grape juice instead of wine. rip off! :)

You are ready. Go for it.

I did my first marathon when I was 17, during the middle of my senior year cross-country season. My coach was not amused. ;) Likewise, did my first HIM at 19. IMO, as long as your training has prepared you for the event and you are currently in good medical (physical/mental) health, then you're good to go!

Bonus if you have friends around you who are into the same thing. I was on the triathlon team at both universities I attended, and it really helped to have friends who were more interested in doing a brick together or finding a new bike route than pregaming to to out on thirsty Thursdays...
