training partner and half ironman advice

After completing my first marathon on sun, and qualifying for boston, I was so excited and still on my runners high that I signed up for the florida half-ironman in may. I have completed 2 sprint and 2 international tri's, but I am ready to step up my training and take these events more seriously. i am not a biker and i was wondering if anyone lived in the plantation/davie/ft.lauderdale fl area that would like to train with me for this event..especially biking. Also if anyone has any good advice..I would love it. My goal is under 5hours and 30 minutes. I am only 22, so I know I have a while to go until I catch up to all the experienced triathletes that I idealize so much!

I live in Coconut Creek and I am also signed up for the Half Iron-Man in May. I am more of a marathon runner trying to break the 3-hour mark but I was inspired to do tri's when my best friend crossed the line of Iron Man Florida. So, I am taking a year off from marathoning to do Tri's. I have also signed up for the Great Floridian in October (Full Iron-Man distance).
