Ironman Wales 2014 - is it possible ?

I am considering the possibility of training for Ironman Wales in 2014 but don'know I if it is possible to go from my present level of fitness to Ironman in a little over a year.

i am down to a reasonable weight now after losing 4 stone since Xmas so now at 15 stone not far off my target weight and I am relatively active. I run 5k daily with the dog now and although still struggle towards the end it's e getting much easier.  I cycle to work most days (15 mile round trip) and I walk a lot in work so although my fitness is not great it's also not too bad.

my swimming needs a lot of work!

i can train either before or after work 4 or 5 days a week so I don't see time as the main issue but I would need a focus to my training and not sure where I would go for this.

firstly do you guys think the timescale is realistic or should I look at 2015 ?

seconly can anyone suggest any training plans? Are their any good books out there that could help me or any other suggestions for a plan?

thanks in advance.

John.
