Doing a triathlon over a weekend is a great way of providing you with a check point in your training plan towards one of your end goals.  At Solihull Tri we do a couple of these each year early in the season based around two of our local running events, the Solihull Half Marathon and the Shakespeare Half and Full Marathons.  Both these races are focused on the Middle (half-iron) and Long (Iron) distance athletes, but there is no reason why you should not substitute in your own run distance.
