My tip would be to do plenty of running/cycling events this autumn/winter as this will build much needed endurance. I would concentrate on getting out for long weekend rides whenever possible. Two building up to 5 hours would be great - with a club or as part of a sportive is probably easiest. Also, I would suggest doing one or more half marathons or longer distance races - on the basis that these should seem like a walk in the park when you're all trained up for te 70.3.
I signed up for the 70.3 in about August last year. I did some runs and a couple of duathlons over the winter (including both November and March Ballbusters - I recommend these as being similarly tough but taking about half the UK70.3 time). I learned (yes, learned) to swim in Feb this year. I did the marathon in April. First tri was an olympic in May this year. 70.3 in June was great fun.
Good luck and have fun.
