Many people although they have the ability will never attempt a triathlon because they aren't sure if they can finish. If you are dedicated in your training you will improve and you will be, able to complete a triathlon. Set a plan and stick to it. Incorporate LSD, strength, speed and rest in to each phase of your training. Level 1 -Noncompetitive.
