I told friends and family about my intentions and hopefully that will motivate me to follow through. I am a little intimidated by the amount of equipment I'll need to actually compete (wet suit, road bike). I don't know how much money is worth spending on this whole random resolution. Plus, each event has an entry fee ranging from $85 to $185. I hope this is the right place for me to be investing my time and money at this point. They say you should be training about 7 hours a week. I can do Monday through Friday, but I'll have to modify my Saturdays a bit to get extra time in.

Workout:
Run: 30 min: interval - high intensity
Circuit weights: 40 min.
