You may want to find an event that has a "Try at Tri" or "Give it a Tri" option.

I looked at the posted course for a sprint tri recently, and realized I could easily complete the distance. However I then estimated what my time would be if I competed, and based on the previous year's results, and my current training times, I discovered I would have finished last with a big gap. So if I enrol, it will definitely be the "Try a Tri" option this time around. At least there I probably won't be last, or at least not by much!
