I decided to compete in a triathlon today. I didn't know where to start with training or even where/when events would be though. I spoke with some employees at the YMCA and they said one of their employees does tri's all the time. I left my number for him to call me. Maybe he can help me train and get ideas for events to enter.
I also looked around on the internet for local events and training ideas. There is an easy one in March and an Olympic style one in July. Hopefully I'll do both of these.

Workout:
Swim: 25 yrds x 20 breaststroke
Eliptical: 30 minutes - 170 heart rate
