You have to qualify for Kona and realistically you need to be in the top 3% of the field to get a place and i am a good bit off that at the moment. I am not ruling it out but it will take a good bit of hard graft and its something that may happen in 2013/2014.
The target race next year is another IM distance race in Challenge Roth and the target there will be sub 10hr and i will also be going for a sub 3hr marathon.

For something like that and assuming you still have a decent level of fitness from playing ball you could probably do one tomorrow but you would probably not enjoy it. If it is just to get around in a decent time you could do an 8 week plan and given the swimming is a limiter that is what i would work on. Most people can run a 5k easy enough so all it leaves then is the bike and this is were you can make some serious time improvements. To give the cycling some perspective it was one of my limiters when i started IM training and after a lot of hard work i overtook 50% of the field (about 550 people) on the bike course. You are well able for it and if you need any help drop me a pm when you decide to do one and i will try give you some training tips.
