Before I had to get stitches in my foot, I was up to running over 7mi/day about 5 times a week, and looking forward to a sprint triathalon. I couldn't do it because of the foot, and had to stand on the sidelines and cheer on my girlfriend.
I was jealous as hell, because it looked really fun. A quick tip or two: if they ask you to register by your swim time, don't sandbag it in order to start later in the order. For some reason, my gf did this and ended up getting stuck behind people dog paddling and doing the elementary backstroke. Also, if you think you're going to do this with any sort of regularity (and you'll probably get hooked), get a roadbike for sure. The gf just had a mountainbike, and ended up with one of the lowest bike times, even though her other times were middle of the pack.

Even in high school, when I was fit, I was never a distance guy. I have no aspirations of winning. Just finishing an event would be huge given where I started.
