0 to Olympic?

I am considering committing to going through a Team in Training program for an olympic distance tri but would like to get some feedback from people regarding the run. I am a big guy at 280 lbs. I can't run to save my life. I can however, swim a mile and ride 25 miles no problem. Aside from my body fat, I am in pretty good shape otherwise. Would going from 0 running miles to 6 miles over 6 months be feasible given the motivation and comittment to training? What do you guys think? I know almost all is up to me and my motivation, but if you guys think that is asking too much in too little time, I don't want to set such a lofty goal
