i run half marathons and will run my first full marathon this april. After that I want to move to triathlon, and ultimately ironman. Do you train by directly breaking your time 1/3 spent biking 1/3 spent swimming 1/3 running? how can I make a strong transition to tri?

@palmerleggings Hi there.. If you ultimately goal is Ironman, you're going to have to spend a lot of time on the bike as although you will be cardiovascularly fit you will need to build the bike-specific strength to ride long.
For time efficiency investing in a turbo-trainer (or wind-trainer as they call them in the US) is a good idea.
As a beginner, don't waste money on top-end bikes - just make sure the one you have fits you by getting a bike fit done (e.g Retul).. Training consistency ...

@palmerleggings is key. Look at the distances in Tri - less time is spent in the water so less hours are spent in the pool unless UR a weak swimmer, in which case devote off season time to get technique looked at and swim 3-5 times a week. Speed(Threshold)/AerobicEndurance and Strength. Join a local Tri club to get further pointers. As u r already a runner this is likely2B your strength.Spend time building up bike/swim strength&endurance Running off the bike is important too-as it is v.different

Bicycle Richmond kindly provided me with A Cannondale frame to use in my early season races. However, financial difficulties meant that their sponsorship was withdrawn and the bike returned, hence I no longer race on a Cannondale.
